Love Is Blind (novel)

Love Is Blind is a historical novel by William Boyd, published in 2018 by Viking Penguin. Set in the late 19th century, the novel follows the life of Brodie Moncur, a Scottish piano tuner who travels across Europe and Asia. The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and the transformative power of music. The novel includes Boyd’s regular use of rich historical detail and exploration of the cultural landscapes, in this case, of fin-de-siècle Europe. The story also reflects on the nature of obsession and the sacrifices made in the name of love.

The book is dedicated to Boyd's wife, Susan.
