Silas Marner

Author: George Eliot

Silas Marner by George Eliot is a tale of redemption and human connection. Silas, a reclusive weaver, is betrayed by his best friend and exiled from his community. Living in isolation, he finds solace in his gold hoard, until it’s stolen. His life takes an unexpected turn when an orphaned child wanders into his home. It’s a touching story about how love and community can heal the deepest wounds.

Our life is determined for us—and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing, and only think of bearing what is laid upon us and doing what is given us to do.
