She's just 18, a rather quiet and studious girl (she's lovely!) and she wants to find some new authors.
She's read a lot of Victorian literature, Dickens, Hardy, Brontes, etc, but wants to read something a bit more modern. No scifi, no horror, no fantasy.
She has enjoyed The Curious Incident, We Need To Talk About Kevin, Mr Pip, and a few others. I think she'd like to find a new author rather than individual books if that makes sense, although not necessarily a series.
Any suggestions would be fantastic, thank you. I'm planning to take her book shopping next week.
