Michelle Godfrey mgodfreycreative — Jose Saramago is not an author you want to read if you like to have everything wrapped up with a bow and fully explained in the end. In novel after novel, Saramago drops characters into bizarre circumstances and very rarely (if ever) explains exactly how or why those circumstances came about. In this particular tale, Saramago has the entire Iberian Peninsula cleave from the rest of Europe and begin a journey sailing out to sea. The story focuses on 5 people and one dog on the peninsula as they attempt to understand how their lives and homeland have changed. All five characters had improbable events happen to them right around the time when the peninsula split from the mainland. The characters try to determine if these occurances are directly related to the fracture of the peninsula from Europe. The book contains social and political undertones like many other Saramago novels. Also like other Saramago novels the books is intellectual and there is more to gather from reading it other than the main plotline. Saramago novels are allegorical and like the others "The Stone Raft" is commenting on society. Saramago is one of my favorite authors and I found The Stone Raft to fit in well with his other works. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I liked several of his other novels Blindness, All the Names, The Cave or The Double. Saramago also has a very unique writing style with lots of run on sentances and no quotation marks. This can be a challenge for readers who are new to Saramago's works. In my opinion it is worth the effort and besides you soon enough become used to his writing style.
