Love Is Blind
あらすじ・解説
When he is hired as the personal piano tuner for a brilliant pianist, Brodie Moncur suddenly finds himself swept up into a life of luxury that he could never have imagined. But while accompanying his new employer on tours from Paris to St. Petersburg, Brodie falls madly in love with the Russian soprano, Lika Blum: beautiful, worldly, seductive - and forbidden. Though seemingly doomed from the start, Brodie’s passion for Lika only grows as their lives become increasingly more intertwined, more secretive, and, finally, more dangerous.
A tale of dizzying passion and brutal revenge; of artistic endeavor and the illusions it can create; of the possibilities that life offers and the cruel speed with which they can be snatched away, Love Is Blind is a dazzling work of historical fiction that unfolds across fin de siècle Europe.
批評家のレビュー
"Boyd has long been a master of the technical aspects of fiction-writing, and in Love Is Blind this is again in evidence: plotting, pacing and historical detail are all adroitly handled, and he succeeds in making the world of piano tuning - as well as the wider milieu of fin de siecle Europe - come alive.... Extremely enjoyable." (William Skidelsky, Financial Times)
"[Boyd] is exceptionally good at evoking a vivid sense of place.... Love Is Blind is a cautionary tale in how passion can both lift up and destroy lives." (Amy Scribner, BookPage)
"Boyd’s lively 15th novel careens across the world...a wild story...ageless and very entertaining." (Publishers Weekly)
