It's mum's birthday this month
She is a voracious and widely read reader.
Any suggestions?
She likes Anthony Trollope, George Eliot, most Thomas Hardy and in then in more modern tastes she loved Lindsay Davis Falco, Patrick O'Brien, CJ Sansom, the wolf hall trilogy, Ellis Peters.

Anything newish and really good I should try?

She might like Madeleine Miller? She wrote The Song of Achilles and Circe.

Or maybe Conn Iggulden, he has a couple of different series - one about Julius Caesar and one about Genghis Khan I think.

Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes? It’s written from Medusa’s point of view and is a great read!
