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 " Less
