Disappearing Earth book cover

Disappearing Earth

Julia Phillips

A haunting and suspenseful story set in the Kamchatka peninsula of Russia, where two sisters go missing and the police investigation turns up nothing. We follow a cast of richly drawn characters - a witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother - over the course of a year as echoes of the disappearance reverberate through a tightly woven community. With emotional acuity and breathtakingly vivid descriptions of Kamchatka's rugged landscapes, this powerful novel explores the intricate bonds of family and community in a Russia unlike any we have seen before.

This book is absolutely bloody brilliant. Extraordinary sense of place, people, culture, society. I was riveted and didn't want it to end. Highly recommended. @jkbphillips @AAKnopf #disappearingearth      source
