A Book for MIL

[HAZELLNUTsroastingonanopenfire]

We are going to buy MIL a book for christmas (amongst other things) but she doesn't read much. The only thing I know she's read and enjoyed is one of the Joanne Harris books so last year I bought her a different Joanne Harris book. So... any recommendations for something lightish but not too trashy suitable for a 60 year old- preferably recent so I can get it cheap...
Thanks !

Maeve Binchy? There was one out earlier this year, I'm sure.

oh yes, that's a good idea - the latest one was set on a greek island too and she went to one last year so she'd probably like that....

Girl at the Lion D'Or by Sebastian Faulks.

this really is MILsnet tonight isn't it?

How about some Tracey Chevalier?

Thanks for the suggestions - will probably go for the Maeve Binchey one as think it is the lightest and that's probably whats needed

No 1 lAdies detectives is also quite light and brill IMO

Superlight romantic comedy for the more mature lady, also available in Waterstones:
Scuba Dancing
