In the twilight of life, Silas Marner has only his loom and his gold.…
Embittered by a false accusation, disappointed in friendship and love, the weaver Silas Marner hoards a treasure that destroys his spirit until fate steals it from him and replaces it with a golden-haired child. Where she came from, who her parents were, and who really stole the gold are the secrets that fill this moving tale of guilt and innocence.
A moral allegory of the redemptive power of love, it is also a finely drawn portrait of early nineteenth-century England in the days when spinning wheels hummed busily in the farmhouses and of a simple way of life that was soon to disappear.

"I recently solicited from my close friends, work colleauges and some learned people their list of "must - read" books. Surprisingly, Silas Marner was on more than a few lists. I had never heard of it. That was my misfortune as this is a great read. The narrator, John Peakes does an outstanding job. As a book on tape listener knows...the book can be only as good as reader allows."
