This was an enjoyable read that followed an ensemble of characters all somehow connected to the disappearance of two young girls. In a bunch of short story like chapters, connections are revealed and the effect the tragedy has on various people is explored.

A great read! I loved how this book tied all the individual stories together. I was wondering how it would all relate to one another and was pleasantly surprised by the ending. An interesting story told very well.

Disappearing Earth is just wow. I truly loved it. Opening on the disappearance of two young girls on the Kamchatka peninsula, it follows the impact of the two girls' disappearance on the community over the following months, and through the lives of other women in the wider region.

Phillips has done an amazing job of intertwining each character throughout the story, and just made each character's impact on the unfolding tale all the more real-feeling. The writing itself is quite elegant and it flowed from month to month seamlessly.

The ending was also incredibly moving, and shows the importance of protecting those we love.

This review will also feature on my blog on the 1st of June.
