"Galveias" is among the great novels ever written about Portuguese rurality. The universe touches a small town with an immense mystery. This is the entry point to the cast of characters that make up this novel and that, chapter by chapter, builds a world. As a condensation of Portuguese identity, Galveias is a portrait of life, a shameless image of a reality that permeates the country and that, to a large extent, contributes to shaping its deepest identity. "Like Saramago, José Luís Peixoto is a writer touched by genius." Urbano Tavares Rodrigues "We are faced with a great fiction writer and, also, a great prose writer of the Portuguese language, capable of extraordinary notations of reality, innovative rhythms, and even a structural relationship with musical forms that is unprecedented among us." Vasco Graça Moura "One of his country's most gifted writers." Le Monde «Peixoto has an extraordinary way of interpreting the world, expressed through his precise choices of language and images.» Times Literary Supplement «Peixoto articulates an interesting discourse on identity and orphanhood, and in parallel creates a wonderful psychological portrait of the Portuguese rural world.» El País
