De er overalt. De er her. De er os. De har infiltreret hjem i Hong Kong, butikker i Vancouver, gaderne i Sierra Leone, torve i Oaxaca, skoler i Tel Aviv, soveværelser i Indiana. De er ikke kæledyr eller spøgelser eller robotter. De er rigtige mennesker, men hvordan kan en person, der bor i Berlin, gå frit gennem stuen hos nogen i Sydney? Hvordan kan nogen i Bangkok spise morgenmad med dine børn i Buenos Aires, uden at du ved det? Især når disse mennesker er helt anonyme, ukendte, ikke sporbare.

The seven houses in these seven stories are empty. Some are devoid of love or life or furniture, of people or the truth or of memories. But in Samanta Schweblin’s tense, visionary tales, something always creeps back in: a ghost, a fight, trespassers, a list of things to do before you die, a child’s first encounter with a dark choice or the fallibility of parents.

They've 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. They're everywhere. They're here. They're us. They're not pets, or ghosts, or robots. They're 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.
