Named as a book to look out for by Guardian, i-D, Autostraddle, Bustle, Good Housekeeping, Stylist and DAZED.
Our Wives Under The Sea is the debut novel from 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. It soon becomes clear, though, 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.
To have the woman she loves back should mean a return to normal life, but Miri can feel Leah slipping from her grasp. 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.
'Part bruisingly tender love story, part nerve-clanging submarine thriller . . . heart-slicing, cinematic.' - The Times

Kivasti sillai pikkasen outo! Kirjan nimi itseasiassa ei ole metafora. Kirjassa on pariskunta, josta toinen työnsä puitteissa menee sukellusveneellä merenpohjaan. Mut jotain menee pieleen. Toisissa luvuissa tämä Leah on tullut takaisin tuolta matkalta, piti olla viikkoja mut meni 6kk. Ja taas on jotain pielessä. Kirja on melko fäncy, korkeakirjallisuutta. Kauhun katetegoriaan laitettu. Olisi saanut olla hiukan enemmän jänniä eerie kohtia ja vähän vähemmän hianoa kirjoitusta. Suomessa kirjoitetaan niin hyvää outoa ja mitä lie suomikummaa, että ei tää niiden tasolle yltänyt, mut ihan jees. Unohdan varmaan heti kun olen lukenut. Loppua kohden aloin selata nettiä samalla, huono merkki.

Tunnelmallinen, hellä, karmiva ja kaunis tarina, joka tempaa mukaansa.
