My niece is coming to stay in the school holidays. She's a voracious reader but is flying here so won't be able to pack many books (and doesn't have a kindle). We spoke on Skype today and I said I'd go to the library and pick some books up for her if she told me what she liked. She said she's not keen on a lot of the YA dystopian fiction, and she's read almost all the children's classics we can think of. So I wondered about suitable adult books - she's very clever but not very worldly, so I don't want to alarm her. I also don't want to bore her - she said she tried Rebecca recently and found it very slow to get started.
So far, I have:
To Kill A Mockingbird
Diary of a Nobody
Emma
Love in a Cold Climate
But any suggestions for others, recent or classic, would be well received. Historical fiction, sci-fi, romance, whatever you can think of!
