LOVE IS BLIND PB
Εκδότης Viking , ISBN 9780241295922
Love is Blind is William Boyd's sweeping, heart-stopping new novel - set at the
end of the 19th century, it follows the fortunes of Brodie Moncur, a young
Scottish musician, about to embark on the story of his life.
When Brodie is offered a job in Paris, he seizes the chance to flee Edinburgh
and his tyrannical clergyman father, and begin a wildly different new chapter in
his life. In Paris, a fateful encounter with a famous pianist irrevocably changes
his future - and sparks an obsessive love affair with a beautiful Russian soprano,
Lika Blum. Moving from Paris to St Petersburg to Edinburgh and back again,
Brodie's love for Lika and its dangerous consequences pursue him around
Europe and beyond, during an era of overwhelming change as the 19th century
becomes the 20th.
Love is Blind is a tale of dizzying passion and brutal revenge; of artistic
endeavour and the illusions it creates; of all the possibilities that life can offer,
and how cruelly they can be snatched away. At once an intimate portrait of one
man's life and an expansive exploration of the beginning of the 20th century,
Love is Blind is a masterly new novel from one of Britain's best loved
storytellers.
