Noted book discussion leader Judy Levin discusses 'Disappearing Earth' by Julia Phillips. Author Julia Phillips will make a special appearance at the Library at 7 p.m.
The disappearance of two young sisters unsettles a tight knit community on Russia’s remote Kamchatka peninsula. Taking us through a year, Disappearing Earth enters the worlds of a cast of richly drawn characters, all connected by the crime: a witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother. We are transported to vistas of rugged beauty--densely wooded forests, open expanses of tundra, soaring volcanoes, and the glassy seas that border Japan and Alaska--and into a region as complex as it is alluring, where social and ethnic tensions have long simmered, and where outsiders are often the first to be accused.
