George Eliot's Silas Marner, The Weaver of Raveloe was a sweet story! It was hard for me to read and took me a long time. It did not rivet me to the page but the idea of the story was perfect.
Eliot lost me sometimes with the way she told the story but the whole premise was great. A wronged man shuns the world and find happiness only in the gold he hords from the sales of his weaving. When the gold is stolen, Silas is lost....he has no purpose and is crushed. Then a child wanders into his house one winter night and changes his world.
Little Eppie brings Silas back to world and shows him how to live....
It's a hard and slow read for such a small book but I recommend it! Read the book!
