Silas Marner, by George Eliot, is a book about Silas, a small town weaver, and his trip to being happy once more. In his old town, he was betrayed by his best friend who framed him for a murder and stole his girlfriend. After these tragic events, he was forced to move out of town.
There were a lot of things that happened once he was in his new city. Marner loved his gold. after being betrayed by his friends, it was the only thing he felt like he could rely on. When he got his gold stolen from him, he felt like he had nothing left. Until one day he came home to find a baby girl sitting in front of his fire. Realizing that she was orphaned, Silas took her in and cared for her. Caring for the child, Eppie, Silas gained a new sense of hope, learned how to be alive again, and also found his gold in his back yard.
This was a very good book. The story was really interesting and always kept me wanting to slip away to read it some more. I would recommend this book to anyone who was looking for a great book to read.
