"Splendidly imagined . . . Thrilling" --Simon Winchester
"A genuine masterpiece" --Gary Shteyngart

Spellbinding, moving--evoking a fascinating region on the other side of the world--this suspenseful and haunting story announces the debut of a profoundly gifted writer.


One August afternoon, on the shoreline of the Kamchatka peninsula at the northeastern edge of Russia, two girls--sisters, eight and eleven--go missing. In the ensuing weeks, then months, the police investigation turns up nothing. Echoes of the disappearance reverberate across a tightly woven community, with the fear and loss felt most deeply among its women.

Taking us through a year in Kamchatka, Disappearing Earth enters with astonishing emotional acuity the worlds of a cast of richly drawn characters, all connected by the crime: a witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother. We are transported to vistas of rugged beauty--densely wooded forests, open expanses of tundra, soaring volcanoes, and the glassy seas that border Japan and Alaska--and into a region as complex as it is alluring, where social and ethnic tensions have long simmered, and where outsiders are often the first to be accused.

In a story as propulsive as it is emotionally engaging, and through a young writer's virtuosic feat of empathy and imagination, this powerful novel brings us to a new understanding of the intricate bonds of family and community, in a Russia unlike any we have seen before.

I liked that we were able to experience the lives of different people in this part of Russai and I have learned more about Russai I didn't know before. However, I do like it when books have a story that flows from one chapter to another rather than each chapter having a new story. Yes there was bits of the overarching story in each chapter but it wasnt significant enough.

Very well written

When I read the synopsis I was really looking forward to a mystery/thriller revolving around the investigation of the disappearance of the two girls. Instead I got an endless amount of stories by different women and especially on audio it’s been very challenging to keep track of all of them and their significance.

Mediocre

Although the main idea -- many people with their own lives, sorrows and triumphs -- joint by a mystery in ways they are not aware of, is a good idea, the book is hugely disappointing. The author fails to realize the dramatic landscape and the desolation of Kamchatka, she fails to bring out any of the unique things characterizing this remote part of the world, and she fails to take advantage of the potential of telling parts of the story from the victims or perpetrator point of view. Instead you are dragged through hour after hour of domestic dramas clinging to the hope that finally something interesting would eventually happen. It doesn't. Even the last part of the book, where things are picking up somewhat, is hugely disappointing, and the ending leaves you hanging. A total waste of time and money.

Hugely disappointing

Each month introduces one or two characters however there is no connection among them. The final chapter brings the connection around to chapter one, however the reader is left in limbo as to the actual outcome.

Storyline is Confusing at best!
