Blindness is an interesting read about a unanswerable epidemic sweeping across a city. One by one people fall into a white blindness known as 'white sickness', the government play damage limitation by interning the contagious into a disused hospital.
A unique read owed to Jose Saramago's unusual writing style. An omission of speech marks leaves dialogue feeling urgent and confused, further adding to the characters' despair - in other words, it can be bloody hard to follow at times.
