Senhor José works as an entry-level clerk at the city's Central Registry, which keeps both live and deceased people on the same shelf. As a middle-aged single man, his only interests are the birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates he gets every day. However, something occurs to him one day when he finds the documents of a young lady who goes by anonymously. Senhor José becomes fixated on the thread, which he believes could take him to the lady. However, when he approaches her, he learns more about her and himself than he could have ever imagined.
The impacts of chance, the realization of love, and people's loneliness all come together in this remarkable book, which brilliantly showcases José Saramago's talent and strength.
