What this book is about
Vincent Hunt, Viscount Darleigh, lost his sight in the Napoleonic Wars. His family has arranged a suitable marriage without consulting him. When the arrangement falls through, he finds himself genuinely drawn to Sophia Fry — a woman who speaks to him directly rather than handling him. The Arrangement is the second Survivors' Club novel — Balogh's treatment of blindness is remarkable for its specificity and dignity.
