Julia Phillips' debut novel "Disappearing Earth" is one of five titles on the shortlist for the 2019 National Book Award in fiction.
Phillips spent a year in Kamchatka, the remote peninsula in far-eastern Russia.
The novel is set in its capital, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, where two young girls go missing on a summer afternoon.
The sense of isolation and of being an outsider is a driving force of the novel.
