Silas Marner
I have just finished reading Silas Marner by George Eliot. It is free on Kindle. George Eliot tells a great story with some delightful characters about reaping what you sow. The honest tradesman with no expectations discovered love and peace. The indolent gentlemen found only disappointment and sadness.

a good read . I am from one of the village (Bulkington) that are said to be the setting for Raveloe. We lived in what was once a weavers cottage the elderly man next door still wove in his shed. There was a manor house (Western Hall) and an area known as The Sandpits (Gravel pits in the story) so when i read her story i didn't hhave to use much by way of imagination - just filled in the gaps.
Nuneaton council seemed quite proud to have been home to a famous writer - bronze statue, Schools roads and hospital wards given the names from her fictional characters and places.
- i feel a trip to the library comming on - thanx Ron.
