Hi there,

I recently saw a film called 'The Deep Blue Sea' and it tore me asunder. It was the most beautiful film I have ever seen (And yep I know it is based on, well is, a direct imitation of the 50's play)

It has stirred me on a path to look for 'passionate' literature. I'm not talking 'raunchy' i mean, passionate, exciting themes of love.

Preferably around the World War II era, and in the 50's and 60's.
I'm thinking, Great Gatsby ish.. although yes i know that is a lot earlier, Atonement, The Deep Blue Sea, a touch of Shakeaspeare,

you get my drift. I'm just looking to read some really beautiful literature about the passionate heart.
