Silas Marner (George Eliot, 1861)


This is a lovely story by George Eliot (she was a Victorian author).

Wronged man moves to new town (Raveloe) and continues his profession (weaver); becomes a miser; his gold is stolen; gradually reenters society after taking on a foundling daughter (she of golden hair). Dunstan Cass is the bad guy. Everyone gets what they deserve.

George Eliot is interesting, I picked this up because I had enjoyed her Middlemarch. Good reads.
