Does anyone know the name of this book?

Question

I read it when I was in the 7th grade I believe, so is been like almost 30 years for me. It is a woman that falls in love with a man that was injured and he thought he was permanently blind. The woman is a peasant (very ugly too) and he is more of the Elite class and very handsom. She practically takes him by the hand and reads to him and they walk together to a well where they pass the time. She has fallen in love with him and he was beginning to fall in love with her too. Then along came another woman who falls in love with him and him her. He finally gets to see again and he wants to see the peasant girl because she was so kind to him. When he does see her he is turned off by her and rejects her and she goes to the well where they passed the time and she kills herself. Does anybody know the author or the name of this book? I can't remember. It wasn't a big book, it was sort of thin because the story was kind of short, tragic story.
