But the genius of the novel lies in the fact that the book isn’t about the abduction. This beautiful and atmospheric novel set on Kamchatka, a peninsula in the east of Russia, opens with the abduction of two young girls in a city. If I had to recommend only one book this year, it would hands down be Disappearing Earthby Julia Phillips. ![]()
