A good book to give as a gift?

Question

My friend's birthday is coming up soon she's 17, she likes to read and she's into really good books, dare I say even NY times bestseller type books.

She's read things like, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns (thats her favorite book), Water for Elephants, Kafka on the Shore, The Boleyn Series by Philippa Gregory. I really want to get her a good book that I know she'll like without completely giving anything away about what I'm going to get her.

I am considering giving her the book The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy; I really enjoyed it but I'm not sure if she'll be into it.

I also know that she likes books with a 'story' much more than things like thrillers and whatnot.

Can anyone help me by suggesting a good book to give my friend as a gift??? Thank you
- Please do not offer a B&N gift card, because she lives out of the country and that would be obsolete and a waste of an answer. Also do not just post a NY times bestseller list, trust me I've already looked at it.

Get her a classic or the book Life of Pi. It's a really beautifully written book and I think she she would enjoy it based on her taste in books :)
