\nTaking us through a year in Kamchatka\, "Disappearing Earth" enters with astonish ing emotional acuity the worlds of a cast of richly drawn characters\, all connected by a crime: a witness\, a neighbor\, a detective\, a mother. We are transported to vistas of rugged beauty&ndash\;densely wooded forests\ , open expanses of tundra\, soaring volcanoes\, and the glassy seas that b order Japan and Alaska&ndash\;and into a region as complex as it is alluri ng\, where social and ethnic tensions have long simmered\, and where outsi ders are often the first to be accused. \;
