Quite an interesting book. I really admire George Elliot. Living 2 centuries ago, she still feels remarkably modern. I particularly enjoyed the humour, the underlying criticism on religion, the class differences, the hypocrisy of certain groups. At the same time there is also a clear endearment towards almost every characters.
The most beautiful part was the growing up of Eppie. The way the old Silas falls in love with this child is written with so much warmth!

I actually listened to an audio version (unabridged). I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The audio version was excellent and made the characters come alive.
Slice of Victorian village life. Weaving. Hoarding money. Deception. Adoption.
