Gold! - his own gold - brought back to him as mysteriously as it had been taken away! Falsely accused of theft, Silas Marner is cut off from his community but finds refuge in the village of Raveloe, where he is eyed with distant suspicion. Like a spider from a fairy-tale, Silas fills fifteen monotonous years with weaving and accumulating gold. The son of the wealthy local Squire, Godfrey Cass also seeks an escape from his past. One snowy winter, two events change the course of their lives: Silas's gold is stolen and, a child crawls across his threshold. Combining the qualities of a fable with a rich evocation of rural life in the early years of the nineteenth century, Silas Marner (1861) is a masterpiece of construction and a powerful meditation on the value of communal bonds in a mysterious world.

Silas Marner is a weaver who lives in a small village named Raveloe. The novel, set in England in another generation, carefully weaves (pun intended) a tale of an unknown man moving to a new community to earn a living. Many weavers of his time did the same. Silas is pestered by the town children and possesses "a gaze that was always enough to make them take to their legs in terror." They are suspicious of him because of his special skills and the bag he carries containing material he will weave. The town's people avoid him because he suffers from "fits,' perhaps epileptic in nature. Silas has actually come to Raveloe after members of a religious sect in Lantern Yard, a neighborhood in a larger town, falsley accuse him of theft and excommunicate him. Silas hoards his money under a floor board in his house and counts it every night. You will enjoy the many subplots of the book.
