The first two Xinran books will be of interest to her, she may be difficult to find as she is quite critical of the P.R.C and leans heavily towards neo-traditionalism.
Xialou Guo's latest book may interest her also, as it's about ordinary modern Chinese people, very Sino centric for the foreign reader though, if you don't know China you won't really get much out of it.
Look for "Factory Girls" you may like it.

Two foreign language booksellers we buy from at our library:
http://www.grantandcutler.com/ - mainly European, but they stock a range of books in other languages too.
http://www.mantraling...portal/bilingual.html - predominantly children's books, but some of the older children's titles may be suitable (depending on how old your friend is).
Both places, if they can't help, may be able to point to you to other sellers. It's also worth trying the local library - they may have sources you never dreamed of.
