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 extreme
