Walpole book a tired echo of his Herries style
Critical notice about The Blind Man's House by Hugh Walpole, arguing the novel adds little originality to his acclaimed Herren series. The review notes a stereotyped village setting and a plot focused on a blind rich man and his entourage, with little political or moral novelty.
