Wilkie Collins' "Blind Love" is a captivating Victorian mystery that delves into the complexities of love, deception, and the nature of identity.

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.
