The Natural Order of Things is a tale of two families and the secrets that bind them. The voices of Antunes' characters -- an army officer being tortured in prison on charges of conspiracy; an elderly man once a miner in Mozambique now reduced to dreams of flying underground; a diabetic teenage girl and the middle-aged husband she despises; the officer's illegitimate sister locked away to haunt the house like Bertha Rochester in Jane Eyre -- create a portrait of a disintegrating Portugal a personal political history that attains the brilliance and surreality of Elias Canetti and Nikolai Gogol.
