Silas Marner - George Eliot (4/5)

Silas Marner - George Eliot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(4/5)

“𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘧𝘴, 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩𝘴, 𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮.”

What a little gem this book is. George Eliot was quite revolutionary in her time for writing the peasantry into existence (rather than being perceived only as Other in contrast to the wealthy). People often forget this while reading her novels from a 21st-century perspective.

It’s a beautiful story that questions the nature of belief and religion, as well as the status of myth.
