Hi! I am currently reading your book and I'm so happy I picked it up. I love the feeling of sadness, of dreams crushed and bits being picked up, the whole feel of a town of absent men and so present women. I was nicely surprised to discover it is not the detective story I was expecting, but (as far as I understand it?) a story of women connected by delicate bonds. Congratulations on a wonderfully written book!

Oh, Magda, that means so much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for picking this book up!

I just learned about your book from an email from your publisher. They categorize "Disappearing Earth" as 'women's literature.' Based on the description, your book doesn't fit that category. Are you comfortable with that designation? I don't usually read 'women's lit,' but your book sounds really interesting. Thanks. Nikki

Julia, I sincerely enjoyed your story, Disappearing Earth. I love how you structured it. I felt like I was spying on each individual set of people, and it was fascinating how they all came together. The character descriptions were very helpful in the front. I found myself going back over and over to this and the map. Can you talk about your decision to structure the novel in this way?
