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

a well crafted story about grief, love and loneliness. a niche book, slow burning and heartbreakingly beautiful. very tender and melancholic. the alternating timelines and promise of horror made me listen to this book in one sitting: I was immersed the whole time. it left me feeling whole and empty and sad at the same time. completely stunning and one of the best books I’ve listened to this year.

Ännu en över hypad bok som jag slösat ex antal timmar på. Om du tycker om långsamma böcker och det händer ingenting så är det här boken för dig.
