tien 's review for:
Silas Marner
by George Eliot
I don't know [a:George Eliot|173|George Eliot|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1576393431p2/173.jpg] very well. In fact, I've only ever read [b:Middlemarch|19089|Middlemarch|George Eliot|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1568307771l/19089._SY75_.jpg|1461747] which GR kindly informs me was 8 years ago and... I cannot remember what it was about (yes, that memorable!). My review notes though that I didn't care for most characters & I struggled in the reading so I guess that's one reason why I haven't been reading any more of her books.
I do care for Silas Marner though. He appears to be a typically good young man though maybe a tad on the boring side but he was hard done by. As he slowly hardens to society, a tragedy and a miracle happened in short order. This could prove to be his saving grace yet there is still one more threat to face before the happy ending.
The book is of average size and I listened on audio so to me, it appears as if only half the book is told from Silas' pov while the rest is from Godfrey Cass'. He seems to be a typically bad boy turned good of the landlord class even as he continues to bury his secrets until when at the end, he realised that secrets tend to un-bury itself.
Again, I have to confess that this does not appear to be a memorable read to me. Not plot. Not character. Not setting. Can't say if I'd recommend it to anyone; meh.
