A spare, taut narrative offering the same quizzical view of life that accounts for the success of Saramago's previous work.Senhor José is a minor official in a registry office, with a passion for unearthing every detail and reconstructing people's lives from the bare data in the archive documents. One woman's file particularly intrigues him. Once his researches lead him to discover that she is dead, he traces her life backwards, from death to birth - but can he bring her back to life?
