## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of public-domain fiction books specifically themed around married people, without needing to construct a search query. It is ideal for discovery use cases where you want a ready-made shortlist of canonical works like Jane Eyre, Ulysses, or Ethan Frome, and need drill-down routes to access full texts. Prefer this over a general book search API when the marriage/fiction theme is precisely what you need and you want no licensing or API key overhead.

- limit parameter exceeds 50 — likely returns an error or clamps to max
