Disappearing Earth

A stunning debut from an acclaimed travel writer, Disappearing Earth is about two sisters who go missing on the remote volcanic peninsula of Kamchatka.
 
Clues to the crime lie in the lives - and stories of violence and loss - of twelve women in the girls' rural Russian community. As the police quickly lose interest in the case, these women never stop searching and hoping.
 
Beautifully written, thought-provoking, intense and cleverly wrought, this is the first novel from a mesmerising new talent.
