The best novel that I have read for some considerable time is "Cold Mountain" by Charles Frazier. I think it would be quite suitable for a young girl (I have given a copy to my grand daughter who is 15), as it is beautifully written, and does not use bad language or has any sexual connotations. It is very descriptive and has a strong story line, but contains many gentle parts. The film of the same name I found not to be very good and not fully representative of the book.

It's not fantasy, just a different story about different times.
