A lot of people like Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. If she's into fantasy, there are, like, six or seven books out. Harry Turtledove also has a shitload of alternate history books out. One deals with the confederacy winning the Civil War. Another is a series about aliens invading during the middle of WWII. It all depends on her taste for sci-fi.
I'll tell her about Wheel of Time series, but she's a Historian and hates 'what if' books.
Old men, fear me! You will shatter under my ruthless apathetic assault!
