Love, Love, Love

I'm a huge fan of William Boyd (Sweet Caress, Waiting for Sunrise, etc.), so when Love is Blind came out, I was very excited to get my hands on it!  This is one of those novels that captures you form the first page and you actually want to read it slower because you don't want it to end.  It's utterly engaging and gorgeously written, with elements of love, adventure, ambition, jealousy, and creativity.  It tells the life story of Brodie Moncur, a skilled piano tuner of little means from a Scottish village, who finds himself on a European adventure touring with a famous pianist during which time Brodie falls deeply in love with his employer's mistress.  Intrigue and entanglements ensue.  This was one of my absolute favorites of 2018!
