Need an author or three

Would you recommend an author for my wife?

Her favorite fiction authors include people such as, George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, Penelope Lively, Muriel Spark, Penelope Fitzgerald, Alice Munroe.

She likes nonfiction, too, especialy essays such as those by Verlyn Klinkenborg. There are many, many more, of course.

Any help will be vastly appreciated.

How about Carol Shields or Bernice Rubens? ROBERTSON DAVIES!!! Yes - Davies is the one. I just bought the Deptford Trilogy for about the 6th time - keep giving them away.
