And Bernadine , do you know what time periods your grandmother prefers? Historical romance readers often stick with particular subgenres like Regency, Scottish, medieval, etc. Although Regency doesn't tend to be very light. My sister writes medieval Scottish historical romances as Emma Prince. And her favorite author is Lisa Kleypas, if that helps!

I’m not sure she has a specific subgenre, she doesn’t really buy books on her own, but seems to enjoy them when I get them for her! Of course, I can never remember what I’ve gotten her before, lol.
Sanditon is Jane Austen’s last unfinished novel and the version finished by Kate Riordan is what the BBC show is based on.
Longbourne is about the maid in Pride & Prejudice and her life / love life (like the downstairs of the Upstairs/Downstairs of P&P - written a few years ago).
I’d say both are pretty light reads for Jane Austen genre.
Some that may fit that criteria: The Age of Light Kristin Hannah books - The Four Winds, The Great Alone, The Nightingale specifically Summer Wives If she likes Disney/fairy tales, the Twisted Tale books are decent The Glittering Hour The Fountains of Silence War Brides
