[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She might like some of Geraldine Brooks's novels-they are very readable without being trashy. If she's willing to edge into fantasy/scifi, the Connie Willis novels about time traveling historians are really fun and full of historical detail. If she'd be interested in books with a more challenging narrative structure, Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies books are freaking amazing-as a historian I was amazed at the way that she captured the interior life of her characters. (Also loved the Orphan Master's Son)[/quote] Just saw the comment about books set in the 40s and 50s-Connie Willis's books Black Out and All Clear are great, set during the blitz. Or, Jo Walton's counterfactual novels set in Britain which has made peace with the Nazis. Sarah Waters, The Night Watch[/quote]
