This is my favorite George Eliot book I've read. I had previously seen the Steve Martin movie, A Simple Twist of Fate and was surprised to realize it was based on this book! Silas Marner tells the story of a miserly bachelor who adopts a young girl and develops a great attachment to her. It is a very entertaining read. The story is full of coincidences that somehow don't feel completely unrealistic but instead seem inevitable with Eliot's story construction. It's a good read and definitely worth the time.
