Blind Love
Wilkie Collins published 'Blind Love' posthumously in 1890.
This novella centers on the concept of 'blind love,' exploring how unreasoning affection can lead to deception and ruin. The narrative unfolds in 19th-century Ireland, a setting that allows Collins to weave in elements of secret societies and esoteric symbolism. The story follows characters entangled in relationships where appearances are misleading, and hidden agendas drive the plot. Collins uses this framework to question the nature of trust and perception. The plot involves a young woman caught between two men, one seemingly devoted, the other more mysterious. As the story progresses, the true nature of these characters and their motivations is gradually revealed, often through dramatic twists. The atmosphere is one of suspense, with the undercurrent of secret rituals and hidden meanings contributing to the sense of unease. It is a story where what appears to be love is, in fact, something far more dangerous.

Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. A keeper.
This has been on my wishlist for months. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Happy enough with the purchase.
This has been on my wishlist for months. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Long-time student of the esoteric here. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Definitely recommend.
