A charming and really moving love story.
Book Description
Saramago's most famous novel
Portugal, 1711. In the midst of the terrors of the
Inquisition and the plague, a seemingly mismatched couple
discovers the wonders of love. This rich, irreverent tale,
full of magic and adventure and graced with extraordinary
historical detail, is a tapestry of human folly and human
will--a fabulous cross between One Hundred Years of Solitude
and The Name of the Rose.
