by **Julia Phillips** (Author)

**INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST - A propulsive, emotionally engaging debut novel about the intricate bonds of family and community, in a Russia unlike any we have seen before.**

"Superb.... Brilliant.... Phillips's deep examination of loss and longing ... is a testament to the novel's power." --_The New York Times Book Review_  
  
One August afternoon, two sisters--Sophia, eight, and Alyona, eleven--go missing from a beach on the far-flung Kamchatka Peninsula in northeastern Russia. Taking us through the year that follows, _Disappearing Earth_ enters the lives of women and girls in this tightly knit community who are connected by the crime: a witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother. We are transported to vistas of rugged beauty--open expanses of tundra, soaring volcanoes, dense forests, 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.
