In The High Mountains of Portugal, Martel takes readers on a century long story that is part quest, part ghost story, and part contemporary fable.
It begins in 1904 with young Tomas’s discovery of a journal hinting at a mysterious and amazing artifact. Thirty five years later, a Portuguese pathologist becomes entangled in the consequences of Tomas’s actions. The journey finally comes to a conclusion fifty years on when a Canadian senator and widower takes refuge in his ancestral Portuguese village.
