A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR

Her most unsettling work yet and her most realistic. New York Times

Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Vulture, Bustle, Refinery29, and Thrillist

A visionary novel about our interconnected present, about the collision of horror and humanity, from a master of the spine-tingling tale.

Theyve infiltrated homes in Hong Kong, shops in Vancouver, the streets of in Sierra Leone, town squares in Oaxaca, schools in Tel Aviv, bedrooms in Indiana. Theyre everywhere. Theyre here. Theyre us. Theyre not pets, or ghosts, or robots. Theyre real people, but how can a person living in Berlin walk freely through the living room of someone in Sydney? How can someone in Bangkok have breakfast with your children in Buenos Aires, without your knowing? Especially when these people are completely anonymous, unknown, unfindable.

The characters in Samanta Schweblins brilliant new novel, Little Eyes, reveal the beauty of connection between far-flung soulsbut yet they also expose the ugly side of our increasingly linked world. Trusting strangers can lead to unexpected love, playful encounters, and marvelous adventure, but what happens when it can also pave the way for unimaginable terror? This is a story that is already happening; its familiar and unsettling because its our present and were living it, we just dont know it yet. In this prophecy of a story, Schweblin creates a dark and complex world thats somehow so sensible, so recognizable, that once its entered, no one can ever leave.
