Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips

Two little girls are abducted from a very remote part of Russia. A frantic search is done but there are no real leads. What follows is month by month looks into the lives of those affected. Slowly a connection forms but will it be too late. Hopelessness and isolation are very much at play in this quiet but deep book. They all hunger for something more - an escape route to a bigger city, a bigger life, a serious relationship or to be understood.
