this novel is relatively short, and i’ve been positively obsessed with it since i read it a year or so ago. strange, eerie, psychological, and deeply emotional.

I finished this last night and I really enjoyed it! Protagonists wife is delayed on a deep sea expedition and isn’t the same when she returns. I found it more sad than scary but it definitely has some horror elements. Won’t say more because U just gotta read it and see.
Someone on this app recommended this book to me originally but I can no longer find the post/comment. If U see this, thank you! Great rec! ⭐️

Beautifully written -lesbian- novel by Julia Armfield
Themes of love, loss, and grief
Miri's wife is trapped in a submarine slowly sinking to the ocean floor. We're taken through the story from both Miri's perspective (powerless above sea level left to long for the woman she fell in love with) and her wife Leah's perspective (powerless and bending to the will of her own body.)
10/10

maybe not radical honesty, but like.. just living. like, twirling strangers in the dance hall because it feels right and skipping down the grocery aisles and sitting down and writing for yourself in public and having fancy ginger beer for breakfast and talking unabashedly. yknow??? maybe this is common sense but i’ve found peace again
