Silas Marner (Wordsworth Collection) by George Eliot (1998)
Simple and sweet tale of a weaver who has been ostracized from his village and finds a place in a neighboring town. He is reluctant to get involved with his local neighbors but instead focuses on saving up his gold. When his gold is stolen it turns his world upside down. When a small child wanders into his cottage it creates more confusion but gives him something to live for. It's a nice tale of how family isn't necessarily defined by who you are related to and helping others.

Read for my class on the 19th Century Novel. I quite liked it. The part in which Silas discovers Eppie actually made me tear up.
