Lolita is fantastic. Extremely intelligent and the pedo aspect is not what you
might expect. Humbert is fixated on pre-teens after his first childhood love dies at age 12 (I think). Lolita seduces him. The underage relationship is a device to explore youth, memory, obsession, etc.
Think of books like Outer Dark or Shakespeare or ancient Greeks who use incest as a device. Transgressive plots are a means to an end.

Dickens is my favorite author. So something by him would be my recommendation. But not great expectations.
