The Blind Man's House Hugh Walpole

The Blind Man's House is Walpole's last book before his death. A psychological study of a village and the people who come into contact with a blind man and his young bride. Julius Cromwell, blinded in the First World War, brings his young wife Celia to their new home in an ancient house in the Glebeshire village of Garth in Roselands. Julius's blindness has opened to him a mysterious and enthralling inner world, but the farther he goes into it the more he is removed from those he loves.
