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.
