Description
A deeply strange and haunting novel, Our Wives Under the Sea is a debut that may leave you thinking about your own relationships in a new light. Julia Armfield's impressive and exciting exploration of the unknowable depths within each of us is both elegiac and furious, wry and heartbreaking. When a marine biologist returns home after a routine expedition, her wife is left to pick up the pieces. As the woman struggles to come to terms with what happened beneath the water, she must confront the possibility that the love she shares is slipping away. This is a story about the complexities of human connection and the unrelenting power of love. Armfield's writing is sharp and beautiful, like coral polyps, and her sense of suspense is exquisite and even sadistic. a worthwhile read for fans of literary fiction and those who enjoy exploring the darker corners of the human experience.
