Silas Marner by George Eliot is about a quiet, lonely weaver who lives in a small village and is wrongly accused of a crime, leading him to lose all trust in people. He becomes isolated and obsessed with hoarding gold, until one day his money is stolen. Just when he feels most hopeless, a little orphaned girl named Eppie wanders into his home, and he decides to raise her. Through caring for Eppie, Silas slowly reconnects with the community and finds love and purpose again. It’s a touching story about healing, second chances, and how the people we care for can change our lives.
