Target: book like Silas Marner need help!

["McLean, C. D." <McLeaCD@BERKELEYPREP.ORG>]

Hi,

Hi,

One of my freshman English teacher's has asked for a book recommendation
to replace Silas Marner.  She would like the replacement to be a novel
written in the 19th century, British or American.  We're looking for a
change if possible, but want to maintain the time period in writing
style and language, and hopefully the length, which is not too long and
frustrating.

As I used to be an engineering librarian for 10 years, I really need
your help with suggestions!

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
