George Eliot is known for writing long books about major moral questions: who deserves political representation? (Felix Holt) What's the right balance between self-denial and self-actualization? (Middlemarch) Who am I, and what am I doing here? (Daniel Deronda)
Silas Marner is comparatively gentle. It's not terribly long, the characters aren't terribly complex, and except for the country dialect, it's not very hard to read.
