Silas Marner by George Eliot

4.0

---

Took a while to get me hooked. But im enjoying it so much that I was wondering if there is a movie. Turns out Steve Martin adapted it for modern day in A Simple Twist of Fate. So, we have to see that!

There are so many quotes from this book that I enjoyed, but here’s one standout 

But you do as you like with me -- you always did, from when first you begun to walk. If you wanted to go the field's length, the field's length you'd go; and there was no whipping you, for you looked as prim and innicent as a daisy all the while.

That's my daughter.  Prim and innocent.  There's no whipping her.

UPDATE - I suppose there ought to be some whipping. My wife just texted me

She has a bad attitude. She's become a little tyrant.
