Description: "Brilliant, unexpected, wide-ranging and deeply moving, the story of one family's extraordinary-and sometimes otherworldly- negotiation of the very real hazards of life." Maile Meloy, author of Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It "Pulses with hope It's a tantalizing novel, one that's both sharp and touching, and Steven Amsterdam is fast becoming one of our most interesting writers." The Canberra Times "A wonderful novel: imaginative, intelligent, empathetic. It's like a cross between The Corrections and The Slap , except without any of the gloom or rage and with the addition of something that may or may not be either a form of magic realism or simply that old staple of the literary art, metaphor." Sydney Morning Herald PRAISE FOR THINGS WE DIDN'T SEE COMING "Breathtakingly strange the kind of book that can inspire us to think differently about the world and entertain us at the same time." Washington Post "Feels like a genuine discovery Timely and unexpectedly moving." The Daily Beast "Brilliant Thoughtful, intelligent, savvy full of horror and hope and compels you to think." Raleigh News & Observer "Don't read this book in bed unless you want to stay up past your bedtime thrilled by the discovery of a new writer [A] stunning read." The Millions
