lorcoops 's review for:
Silas Marner
by George Eliot
This is a beautiful tale of the remdemptive power of the love of a child. Silas Marner is transformed by the power of the innocence and unconditional love that he recieves from the baby that finds itself all of a sudden in his care.
When you know the story of George Elliot - that she lived with a married man (who couldn't divorce his wife) for 20 something years and never concieved a child - this book just becomes all the more poignant. Her comments on organised religion also seem very personal too, as I'm sure her and her partner were looked down upon by most sectors of society, especially religious ones.
