Disappearing Earth is a fabulous read. the story centers around an area of Russia we rarely hear, see or read about called Kamchatka. It is the Russian peninsula closest to Alaska, filled with wildlife and native populations. The story is beautifully written and very subtle and yet the reader's desire for understanding builds impatiently.. and you don't really know what you are wanting to conclude..there are mysteries but they are described as so tangential to the action in each chapter you feel they are there only so that the author can deepen our sympathies with the characters. Read it, a lovely book, extraordinarily well written that educates about an unknown geography, unknown first peoples, misogyny, discrimination, racism...all poetically.
