Silas Marner by George Eliot.

This is a thread destined to pick up one reply at best.

Still.. has anybody read it? Thoughts about the story?

No but take it you would recommend?

 

[teppic]

Very much so. It's a slow burner as most stuff tends to be that is 150 years old.

I was tempted to do a 'George Eliot or Jordan's ghost writer' thread but thankfully thought better of it.

Yeah, at school, 30 odd years ago.. so can't help you much!

Cracking novel. My favourite George Eliot is 'Mill on the Floss'. There was a film adaption of Silas Marner with Ben Kingsley in the title role and a young Patsy Kensit as Eppie. Twas pretty good.
