While the authorities panic and tourists flee, three men, two women and a dog are drawn together by omens that burden them with a peculiar responsibility. In this magical realist tale, the six take to the road, finding themselves adrift in a world now unfamiliar and forced to reckon with their relationships, human psychology and the shakiness of belief itself.

When the Iberian peninsula suddenly and slowly separates itself from Europe and drifts purposefully into the Atlantic the world reacts in a confused but predictable fashion. Jose Saramago focuses his story on five individuals who each experience their version of a vision of this event and who, through the course of the story, meet each other and travel through what is now an island together.
It 's a tale of discovery, love, humor, politics and life as only the author can tell it.
