Silas Marner
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA weaver, wrongly exiled from his community and his faith, hoards gold in isolation until a foundling child arrives and slowly teaches him to value something considerably harder to count. Eliot believed redemption arrives quietly, through relationship, rather than through any single dramatic event. It is one of the gentlest stories on this whole shelf about how trust can be rebuilt after it is broken.
