Review: Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips

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.

Rating: 5/5
