Silas Marner by George Eliot

4.0

---

Oh my gosh this is definitely a new favourite. It took some getting into, because the first twenty pages or so were about grumpy old men, but once it got going it was stunning. It felt very similar to Thomas Hardy's books, with less description and less dramatic. But the simplicity of the story and the sweet relationship between Silas and Eppie made this book truly heartwarming and lovely to read. My only problem was that it was too short!
