Barbara Kingsolver would be a good author to tackle after Atwood. I especially enjoyed The Poisonwood Bible.

The Poisonwood Bible is the best book I've read in ages.

Sounds to me like "The Poisonwood Bible"

My mother read it and I started it but I was only 14 or so and lost interest

About a crazy fundamentalist Baptist guy who goes to the Congo and everything unravels. Might make interesting reading for her!

I am currently reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver and Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. I am not sure what I am going to read next but I have a whole bookcase to decide with.

I second As I Lay Dying - one of my favorites

The Poisonwood Bible is also wonderful and fits the bill!

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver is an amazing book about a family of missionaries in Africa in the 60's and covering the next few decades as well. It is set against the backdrop of Congolese independence and is super interesting. Also just beautifully written.
