Born in 1922 in the tiny Portuguese village of azinhaga, Jose saramago was only a baby when his family moved to a series of cramped lodgings in a working-class neighbourhood of Lisbon. Nevertheless, he would return to the village throughout his early life, its river and Olive groves seeping deep into his memory. Shifting between azinhaga and Lisbon, this touching book is a mosaic of memories. Written with characteristic wit and honesty, small memories traces the formation of an artist always fascinated by language and who emerged, against all odds, as one of the world's most respected writers.

 

Review

The voice of Small Memories is so immediate, genial and full of simple affection for the boy he was, that reading it feels very much like sharing a fireside with a talkative uncle - Guardian

A moving account of his childhood and adolescence...Small Memories will delight -- Raymond Carr - The Spectator

A real insight into the making of a great writer - Independent

It's impossible not to be charmed by this fluid, spontaneous-seeming memoir of boyhood from the late Portuguese Nobel Laureate, Jose Saramago [...] For all its delightful novelty, however, the childhood described here is also beguilingly universal: the superstitions and terrors, the mysteries and joys - Daily Mail

A powerful and nostalgic memoir - The Times
