Silas Marner

Silas Marner is a gentle linen weaver who is framed for a heinous theft by his best friend. Exiled from the sphere of human trust and love, he becomes a recluse, caring only for the gold he receives for his work. But when an abandoned child mysteriously appears at his cottage one New Years Eve, Silas discovers an unselfish love that will ultimately lead to his redemption. George Eliot shows how character is rewarded in this ageless, heartwarming novel.
