Goodreads asked Linda Berry:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Linda Berry Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin

This juicy story has everything: the masterfully played game of cat and mouse between Darcy and Bennent, the electric sexual tension between two highly attractive, highly intelligent people who are severely restricted in action and word by the social mores of the time, and their ability to skillfully maneuver within that framework. The book deals with a wide ark of social issues — manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. The eccentric variety and interaction of the secondary characters provide constant tension, conflict, and humor.
