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 really enjoyed the story and it's unfolding through seemingly unrelated characters. HOWEVER... the reader has a very weird way of annunciating words. it sounds like she is reading to a child.

Good story, weird performance

Loooooooong story with no suspense
The woman reading it breathes all the time

Sorry to say: Worst book I've heard out of my almost 50 in Audible

Don't recommend

I don´t understand all the good reviews and praises (One of The New York Times 10 Best Books of the Year?! National Book Award Finalist?!). The book states one stereo-type after another and quite blandly depicts Russia the way people (in the US?) like to read about it: uneducated drunks living in horrible situations and being mean to each other. Even thought the author repordedly spend some time in the area she writes about it seems like she never set foot there.
"The Tsar of Love and Techno" by Amthony Marra does this much better!

Don´t belive the hype
