The inklings of Saramago's style swell throughout . . . Skylight shines." - New York Times "Unmistakably Saramago . . . There is no shortage of wonders to be found in [ Skylight ]." - Washington Post "A fascinating and startlingly mature work . . . The book is a gem." - Boston Globe Lisbon, late 1940s. The inhabitants of a faded apartment building are struggling to make ends meet: Silvio the cobbler and his wife take in a disaffected young lodger; Dona Lidia, a retired prostitute, is kept by a businessman with a roving eye. Humble salesman Emilio's Spanish wife is in a permanent rage; beautiful Claudinha's boss lusts for her; Justina and her womanizer husband live at war with each other. Happy marriages, abusive relationships, jealousy, gossip, love- Skylight is a portrait of ordinary people painted by the master of the quotidian, a great observer of the immense beauty and profound hardship of the modern world."The gifted young Saramago makes these characters click together in a way that's extremely sympathetic." - NPR, All Things Considered "It was only a matter of time before a work of such extraordinary honesty and perception would make its way into the world." - San Francisco Chronicle " | Skylight by José Saramago, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
