I like Kundera's easy stuff. "Risibles Amours" for ex. "L'insoutenable légerté de l'être" may be a little too long ? Stefan Sweig: "24 heures dans la vie d'une femme". Sweig is not hard to read either. Shusaku Endo "La fille que j'ai abandonné". Sartre plays "Les main sales". Quite long but amazing: Jim Harrison "Dalva". ALthough I am not sure they all qualify as "love stories".
