A subtle and insightful story about boredom, passion, curiosity and memory from the Nobel Prize-winner Jos Saramago Senhor Jos is a lonely civil servant who spends his days labouring in the labyrinthine stacks of Lisbon’s central registry. Among the file-cards for the living and the dead, one of an apparently ordinary woman will transform his life. Breaking away from his strict routine, Jos resolves to track the woman down, obsessively following a thread of clues in a bid to rescue her from an oblivion deeper than the grave. ‘When a very good book finds us at just the right moment in life, it can become stitched into our own identity. All the Names a novel about identity and connection has become stitched into mine’ Samantha Harvey, Independent
