Saramago is a relatively new author to author to me; Blindness is the third book by him I've read but it's the first book I've read for this challenge =) Just a little review, tho, since I've written lots about Saramago in the past :/
I ended up reading The Book Thief last month and forgot to post it here! My review isn't super in depth but it was a fantastic novel & I highly recommend it.
Struggling with links today! The first link I added isn't the right one if you could please delete it but the one right after it is the correct one. And the book is from France.

This one is a memoir by Johanna Adorjan and takes place largely in Denmark. It's a very emotional book for me.
