5.0
This was an incredible novel about humanity, about what we can endure and how we still find beauty, joy, love, and simple pleasures when our world is turned upside down.
This was incredibly well written, and with so much thought, empathy and love. You can feel that Saramago poured so much into this and I think if this does not become a classic, I would be very disappointed.
At times it was very hard to read because of subject matter, but I appreciated every single chapter, and I feel that not one word was wasted.
This was simply beautiful, heart-wrenching, and in the end, simply hopeful.
