In the ensuing weeks, then months, the police investigation turns up nothing. One August afternoon, on the shoreline of the Kamchatka peninsula at the northeastern edge of Russia, two girls-sisters, eight and eleven-go missing. I could live in her portrayal of this remote part of the world forever.” -Sloane Crosley, author of I Was Told There’d Be Cake I felt like a wide-eyed kid reading Julia Phillips's Disappearing Earth. It's as much a portrait of humanity as of a small Kamchatka community." -Gary Shteyngart "A genuine masterpiece, but one that is easily consumed in a feverish stay-up-all-night bout of reading pleasure. Written with passion and patience, this is the story of a people and the land that shapes them. 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.” -Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage
“Julia Phillips is at once a careful cartographer and gorgeous storyteller. An exciting beginning from an author whose literary future looks set to be stellar.” -Simon Winchester "I cannot speak too highly of Julia Phillips's thrilling, impeccably written and splendidly imagined story, set with rigorous attention to detail in one of the most volcanically dangerous and beautifully remote corners of the planet. Julia Phillips discusses her new novel, Disappearing Earth.
