I just started this book--having finished Mill on the Floss. I love it so far, but only up to the stealing of his money by Dunsy.

    The story Silas Marner is about a loyal man who lives in a small town and has a best friend and his fiancée who they all attend the same church. But all of his loyalty soon came to an end when one of their church members took ill who happened to be the church’s secretary. It was the duty of every other church member to take turns in taking care of him. The turns went on until when it was Silars Marners turn, but without Silars knowledge that his best friend had come to the old mans house earlier to steal the money that belonged to the church living behind a knife that belonged to Silars Marner before his departure. The case of the stolen money became terrible that Silars Marner was banned from his church and was deprived the honor of haven to get married to his beloved fiancée. Read more later
