My wife is a board gamer, not an RPGer. She's played in the odd adventure at Gen Con, but she's not one for open-ended campaigns or acting in character, etc.
That being said, she loves PACG. It's one of our favorite games, in fact. She's a nerd, to be sure, but not really on the Swords & Sorcery thing like I am.
The game has really good mechanics, and presents a pretty fun challenge. Hopefully your wife will like it as much as mine does :D
