Autorenbeschreibung
George Eliot, eigentlich Mary Anne Evans, gilt als eine der bedeutendsten und erfolgreichsten Vertreterinnen des viktorianischen Romans. Neben »Silas Marner«, das erstmals 1861 veröffentlicht wurde, zählen auch »Middlemarch« und »Die Mühle am Floss« zu den Klassikern der englischen Literatur.

I think I really like the writing style. It takes me longer to read than most books, but I loved how George Eliot was able to both convey a lot of information in few pages and give you pages of characterisation and pretty discriptions without either seeming out of place. I'm not sure I'm ready for her longer works, though. While I think the story itself could have used expensions on some aspects, like the time Eppie is actually in the story, I was very much intruiged in what we did get. The two protagonists, Silas and Godfrey, were a great contrast for each other. One simple man brought into the situation by the hand of others, one man from higher ranks living with the consequences of his mistakes. I also liked the portrayal of rural life in "simpler times". The book is heavy on themes without feeling heavy at all and I enjoyed my time with it a lot.
