Baltasar and Blimunda by José Saramago
5.0
The Best — So Glad It Found Me
The best. Subtle, beautifully written, and completely unassuming. Baltasar and Blimunda is a simple love story on the surface—but underneath, it’s rich with symbolism, spirituality, and quiet magic.
Adam and Eve. Yin and Yang. Two halves of the same apple. Baltasar and Blimunda are soulmates in the truest sense — tender, mysterious, and destined. Their bond lingers long after the final page.
The setting is unusual, the style unmistakably Saramago — fluid, dreamlike, and profound. This book came to me at just the right time, and it will stay with me always.
Love José. Always.
