Has she read Pride & Prejudice yet? <3 I read Les Miserables at about that age, too.
Or, if she does like scifi or futuristic novels, she might try something by Kim Stanley Robinson (Red Mars or Forty Signs of Rain would both be good choices). His heroes are scientists, there is a strong flavor of economic and social justice, and also a focus on ecological sustainability. It is very "literary" compared to pretty much all other science fiction I have ever read.
