Silas Marner

Silas Marner is British author George Eliot's novel of love and redemption set in a small religious community.

Silas Marner depicts a man who, following an unexpected betrayal and being wrongly accused of theft, is ostracized by his community and turns to hoarding money to satisfy his wounded soul... until his gold is stolen. The arrival of an orphan girl brings hope back to his life, but when it is revealed years later that the girl is actually the daughter of Silas' betrayer, only love and loyalty will decide the day.

Silas Marner is on the curriculum in many secondary schools in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. It is also offered in India as part of English courses.
