Can you help me find a book for my mum’s birthday?

It’s her birthday next month, she doesn’t get a lot of time to read so needs to be something she can get into fairly easily. Nothing too dark eg child abuse, no thrillers, nothing ‘edgy’, just a good, well written story. There’s so much hype for what turns out to be nothing interesting or special I find it hard to sift through. Any recommendations?

Have a look at Cecelia Ahern, they are like modern day fairy tales.

And this one, actually.

You can't beat a good Maeve Binchy IMO. Circle of Friends would be a good one
