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

I don't know if it's the British accent, or the book in general but it feels a lot like a Doctor Who episode where the Doctor never comes and people have to deal with things themselves. I loved literally everything about this, and would highly recommend.

I don't normally write reviews on here but I'm absolutely in love with this book. It is so beautifully dark. If you have a side that's both drawn to and scared of the dark depths of the sea, this might be for you. It is also so casually yet unapolagetically lesbian. I truly love how the banality of madness in an impossible situation is depicted. Beautiful.

The writing style is nice, but the storyline was dragged off for so long while the writer described the relationship between the two main characters “two women”. Which was boring. The actual story is in the last 20 pages of the book and it is terrible and depressing . The ending has no power and is just a waste of time. Don’t recommend to anyone.

Ne oluyor demeye kalmadan bitti. Aman ha deniz kenarında sahilde dinleyeyim demeyin. Ürperdim düşününce.
