One afternoon in August two young sisters accept a ride from a stranger and vanish without a trace in the Kamchatka Peninsula in far East Russia. The police investigation reaches a stalemate. For the next 12 months, different female characters narrate stories connected with the disappearance. There is a strong sense of place in this novel, illuminating this area of the world, both its geography and its customs.
