Skylight by José Saramago
Set in a crumbling Lisbon apartment building, the novel interweaves the lives of its tenants to expose petty ambitions, secret desires and the quiet violences of everyday existence; through sharp social observation and ironic humor it traces how economic hardship, failed relationships and moral hypocrisy shape and trap ordinary people, turning the building itself into a claustrophobic stage of disappointment, fleeting tenderness and human stubbornness.
