Our Wives Under the Sea

“Having a Cold, Damp Girl Summer and couldn't be more delighted. A marine biologist plummets to the bleakest bottom of the deep, dark ocean in her submarine, then returns after sort of being lost? Or perhaps just being delayed? Returns...? The versions of her that emerge from her journals, her wife's aching, first-person recollections of their relationship, and the actual unknowable water add up to”

“Beautifully written and bleak but surprisingly funny meditation on losing someone who hasn’t actually died or left. Miri’s wife Leah goes missing for six months on a submarine research trip. When she unexpectedly returns, she’s not the same person who left. Classified as body horror, but the description doesn’t really fit imo (not icky). Not for those that dislike unanswered questions”
