American Gods is a good idea. And go to other Gaiman from there. Legolas Send a noteboard - 26/02/2011 12:43:42 PM
Guy Gavriel Kay might work too, because he's so close to historical fiction (assuming she likes historical fiction in the first place).

IMO, you can't go wrong with Neil Gaiman's works, esp his collab with Terry Pratchett: Good Omens. *NM* Bookwyrm - 27/02/2011 08:04:29 AM 523 Views
How about Mists of Avalon by Zimmer? everynametaken - 26/02/2011 03:38:34 AM 1080 Views
Not so much "female" perspective as "feminist". It's a great book, but doesn't make much of men. *NM* Legolas - 26/02/2011 12:31:40 PM 449 Views
Then she should stay away from MZB's Darkover novels. Those became really anti-man as it progressed. *NM* Bookwyrm - 27/02/2011 08:02:58 AM 499 Views
Mists of Avalon is pretty awesome *NM* beetnemesis - 28/02/2011 05:47:37 PM 453 Views
I second that. *NM* Aeryn - 01/03/2011 12:10:15 AM 456 Views
Try coupons. Housewives LOVE them some coupons. *NM* Cannoli - 26/02/2011 04:52:25 AM 569 Views
Not sure what to say here, my wife DOES love coupons! *NM* Sir Tybalt - 26/02/2011 03:52:23 PM 475 Views
I think The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb would be a good start Dark Knight - 26/02/2011 07:01:05 AM 901 Views
I would rather recommend Hobb's second trilogy "The Liveship Traders" instead ursidae - 26/02/2011 09:47:51 AM 1126 Views
...the second trilogy is still part of the overall story. May as well start from the beginning. *NM* Missa Sedai - 28/02/2011 08:24:42 PM 553 Views
try orson scott card's enchantment. for an intro, way better than ender's game. temeraire - 26/02/2011 02:46:27 PM 934 Views
Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate is a lovely start. Rebekah - 26/02/2011 03:01:41 PM 910 Views
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Sir Tybalt - 26/02/2011 04:02:27 PM 1062 Views
Otherland by Tad Willaims. Brilliant mix of sci-fi and fantasy, all set in near-future or alt Earth. Bookwyrm - 27/02/2011 08:09:21 AM 984 Views
Based on the books you say she enjoys already... Werthead - 27/02/2011 01:09:16 AM 945 Views
Adding to the other good suggestions. Seriana Sedai - 27/02/2011 10:37:35 AM 1075 Views
Maybe Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell? *NM* beetnemesis - 28/02/2011 05:48:14 PM 429 Views
If she likes Pride and Prejudice, this is a fabulous suggestion. *NM* Darth_Katie - 28/02/2011 06:25:18 PM 432 Views
Spin by Robert Wilson random thoughts - 28/02/2011 07:33:52 PM 904 Views
How about Jack Vance's Lyonesse series? *NM* Helene - 01/03/2011 03:21:08 PM 463 Views
