Blistering, unrelenting, horrifying, yet still somehow luminously redemptive
White Review, *Books of the Year*
A powerful fable
Scotsman
Extraordinary...a tour de force of thought-experiment and feeling-experiment
Observer
He writes a prose of particularly luminous intensity, brilliantly rendered into English by his regular translator Giovanni Pontiero...Sweepingly ambitious
The Times
Saramago repeatedly undertakes to unite the pressing demands of the present with an unfolding vision of the future. This is his most apocalyptic, and most optimistic, version of that project yet.
Independent
Saramago's exuberant imagination, capriciousness and clear-sightedness find full expression in this engaging work
This is a shattering work by a literary master...a book of real stature
Boston Globe
