Disappearing earth goodreads6/1/2023 ![]() ![]() How did you feel about Lada’s chapter in hindsight, knowing that Yegor, the man she almost ended up sleeping with, was the kidnapper? Marked spoilers follow for anyone who’s finished the story: ![]() A lot of it is very relatable and easy to understand.īut while it isn’t your typical thriller/mystery story, it does eventually give a satisfying and suspenseful climax, and I flew through the last fifty pages. Julia does a nice job of presenting these vastly different women from different stages of life in a way that is believable and entertaining, and without getting too much into spoiler territory yet, the issues dealt with range from the loss of loved ones, to the effects of dangerous or traditional masculinity on women, to being bored with life, to reconciling differences between how you and others see loved ones-just to name a few. ![]() Each point of view has only one chapter, and many times the point of view ends before the character’s conflict is dealt with (although some are tied up or hinted at in other chapters from a different point of view). But the story isn’t too focused on the disappearance and subsequent search-the book takes a turn after the first chapter and tells the story of a handful of women whose lives are affected, in big or small ways, by the girls’ disappearance. The story is framed around a pair of young girls who go missing on a geographically secluded Russian peninsula. ![]() I just finished this novel yesterday, and really enjoyed it. ![]()
