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.
