Wilkie Collins' "Blind Love" is a captivating Victorian mystery that delves into the complexities of love, deception, and the nature of identity. Set in the quaint village of Dimchurch, the story revolves around Lucilla Finch, a blind minister's daughter, and her forbidden love for Oscar Dubourg, a man acquitted of murder and now living under a cloud of suspicion. When Oscar becomes the victim of a brutal attack that leaves him disfigured and suffering from epilepsy, Lucilla's world is turned upside down. As she grapples with her feelings and the prejudice of society, a series of dramatic events unfolds, involving Oscar's vengeful twin brother, Lucilla's manipulative father, and the enigmatic Dr. Grosse, an ophthalmologist who offers Lucilla the chance to regain her sight.
