Being a knitter myself and loving everything related to textiles, I find it so interesting that Silas Marner is a weaver.
It’s a sweet and heartwarming novel.

The writing is very accessible, and the story hits some compelling emotional beats. Overall I didn't love it, and the focus of the story seems to be more on preaching a specific moral message than depicting interesting characters or a cohesive plot, but I did enjoy it.

4.5 stars—I think I preferred Middlemarch, but still loved this! It got me emotional by the end.
