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 is not the same. Whatever happened in that vessel, whatever it was they were supposed to be studying before they were stranded on the ocean floor, Leah has brought part of it back with her, onto dry land and into their home.

Moving through something that only resembles normal life, Miri comes to realize that the life that they had before might be gone. Though Leah is still there, Miri can feel the woman she loves slipping from her grasp.

Our Wives Under the Sea is the debut novel from Julia Armfield, 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.

Durchwachsen. Atmosphärisch aber nicht wirklich berührend.

Review of 'Our Wives under the Sea' on 'Goodreads'

Lento y reflexivo sobre un proceso irreversible, Our Wives Under the Sea explica el proceso de transformación de Leah, una mujer que tuvo un accidente en un submarino en lo más profundo del mar, y de su esposa Miri, quien es testigo de todo el proceso.
Lo que más llama la atención es su estilo, lento pero poético y a pesar de ser breve, requiere una lectura pausada.
Me ha gustado, pero no me ha parecido nada del otro mundo y se podría haber arriesgado mucho más.
