They're following you. They're everywhere now. They're us.In Samanta Schweblin's wildly imaginative new novel Little Eyes kentukis have gone viral across the globe.

Through kentukis a jaded Croatian hustler stumbles into a massive criminal enterprise and saves a life in Brazil a lonely old woman in Peru becomes fascinated with a young woman and her louche lover in Germany and a motherless child in Antigua finds a new virtual family and experiences snow for the first time in Norway.These creatures can reveal the beauty of connection between farflung souls - but they also expose the ugly humanity of our increasingly linked world. Trusting strangers can lead to unexpected love and marvelous adventure but what happens when the kentukis pave the way for unimaginable terror?(less)
