Two sisters are kidnapped one August day along the northeastern Russian coast. Nothing is found during the police inquiry in the weeks and then months that follow. A close-knit community is shaken by the disappearance, with the women in the town feeling the greatest dread and sorrow.

Disappearing Earth immerses us in the lives of an incredible array of individuals who are all linked by an incomprehensible murder and takes place on the isolated Siberian peninsula of Kamchatka. We are taken to scenes of untamed beauty, including thickly forested areas, wide-open tundra, towering volcanoes, and the glassy seas that encircle Alaska and Japan. We are also taken to a region that is both seductive and complicated, where social unrest and ethnic tensions have long simmered and where outsiders are frequently the first to be accused.

Through a young writer's virtuoso feat of empathy and imagination, and a tale that is both propulsive and emotionally compelling, this remarkable book offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationships between family and community in a Russia that is unlike any other.

Captivating, thought-provoking, passionate, and deftly crafted, this is the most remarkable first book from an incredible new talent.
