Silas Marner by George Eliot

4.0

---

Eliot's story transported me to a small English village. Early on she asks, "how was a man to be explained unless you at least knew somebody who knew his father and mother?" and I had to laugh, thinking life in a small town hasn't changed much. I'm happy I was prompted to read this as part of a program at the local library. Her writing is vivid and often witty. I enjoyed the setting, characters and plot.
