Beschreibung

<b>Beautifully written, thought-provoking, intense and cleverly wrought, this is the most extraordinary first novel from a mesmerising new talent.</b><br><br> One August afternoon, on the shoreline of the north-eastern edge of Russia, two sisters are abducted. 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.<br><br> Set on the remote Siberian peninsula of Kamchatka, <i>Disappearing Earth </i>draws us into the world of an astonishing cast of characters, all connected by an unfathomable crime. 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. <br><br> 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 provides a new understanding of the intricate bonds of family and community, in a Russia unlike any we have seen before.<br> <br><b>Praise for <i>Disappearing Earth</i></b><br><br> "A genuine masterpiece, but one that is easily consumed in a feverish stay-up-all-night bout of reading pleasure." <br><b>Gary Shteyngart</b><br><br> “Suspenseful, original and compelling, Disappearing Earth is a strange and haunting voyage into a strange and haunting world.'<br><b>Simon Sebag-Montefiore</b>, author of The Romanovs <br><br> “Julia Phillips is at once a careful cartographer and gorgeous storyteller... . A mystery of two missing girls burns at the center of this astonishing debut, and the complexity of ethnicity, gender, hearth and kin illuminates this question and many more.”<br><b>Tayari Jones</b>, author of An American Marriage <br><br> ‘A most extraordin
