"The Idol of the Blind" by Tom Gallon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the poignant themes of love, loss, and the bittersweet nature of life as it follows the life of David Willis and his son, Comethup, after the death of David's wife. The narrative explores their struggles and relationships, particularly highlighting the innocence and curiosity of Comethup against the backdrop of a world filled with complex emotions." "The opening of the novel introduces us to the tragic end of David Willis's wife, whose life was marked by unfulfilled dreams and a long wait for happiness. After her passing, David is portrayed as a man lost in his grief, grappling with the responsibilities of fatherhood for their newborn son, Comethup. The narrative captures the initial melancholy of their circumstances while hinting at an emerging bond between father and child. As Comethup grows, he encounters friendships and adventures, including a significant interaction with a girl named Linda, who brings an exciting twist to his otherwise sheltered life. This segment sets the stage for Comethup’s journey through childhood amidst the remnants of his mother’s tragic story and the grounding presence of his father."
