‘A gothic fairy tale, sublime in its creepiness’ – Florence Welch
Our Wives Under The Sea is the haunting novel from Julia Armfiled, the critically acclaimed author of Salt Slow. It’s a story of falling in love, loss, grief, and what life there is in the deep, deep sea.
Miri thinks she has got her wife back, when Leah finally returns after a deep sea mission that ended in catastrophe. But it soon becomes clear that Leah may have come back wrong. Whatever happened in that vessel, whatever it was they were supposed to be studying before they were stranded on the ocean floor, Leah has carried part of it with her, onto dry land and into their home.
Memories of what they had before – the jokes they shared, the films they watched, all the small things that made Leah hers – only remind Miri of what she stands to lose. Living in the same space but suddenly separate, Miri comes to realize that the life that they had might be gone.
'A wonderful novel, deeply romantic and fabulously strange' – Sarah Waters, author of Fingersmith
'Part bruisingly tender love story, part nerve-clanging submarine thriller' – The Times

When they end, we can't always say how or why. We aren't always given easy answers. Just a lot of experiences to think back on, in the personal way of memories.
There are concrete moments we can point to, the things we do and say, but that's external.
Ultimately we come to terms with ourselves and move on. Or else stay down there and change until we're different enough to surface.
I don't know that this helps as a review exactly. But having finished just minutes ago, it hopefully shows that this isn't a book that floats. It made me think and feel. That, to me, is enough.
To me, this is about relationships.
