A review by josieowens
Blindness by José Saramago

4.0

A hard but important read during this time in US history. Blindness involves a pandemic where the world (we don't know where) is quickly going blind. Then the political and social fallout occurs. What happens to our humanity? Who is family? What would you do to protect others? Saramago has an interesting structure and style. I enjoyed this novel although there were times that I skim read because I wanted to get to the plot and know what was going to happen. I think it would be a good book to reread in order to appreciate the prose, motifs, and symbolism more deeply.
