All The Names Paperback / softback
by Jose Saramago
Paperback / softback
Description
A subtle and insightful story about boredom, passion, curiosity and memory from the Nobel Prize-winner José SaramagoSenhor José is a lonely civil servant who spends his days labouring in the labyrinthine stacks of Lisbon's central registry.
Among the file-cards for the living and the dead, one – of an apparently ordinary woman – will transform his life.
Breaking away from his strict routine, José resolves to track the woman down, obsessively following a thread of clues in a bid to rescue her from an oblivion deeper than the grave. 'When a very good book finds us at just the right moment in life, it can become stitched into our own identity.
All the Names – a novel about identity and connection – has become stitched into mine' Samantha Harvey, Independent
