About this listen
Named as a book to look out for in 2022 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 realise that the life that they had might be gone.

A Love Story
A beautiful story about unconditional love. Not what I was expecting, and due to my own personal preference would have liked more thrill, but all and all really enjoyed it.

Creepy and fun
Thoroughly enjoyed this. The perfect amount of mystery and tension but at its core, a love story.

Not quite sure what just happened
Story line was hard to follow, I kept waiting for the point. Beautifully written but definitely for a niche market.

Incredible
Utterly heartbreaking, yet beautifully written. Armfield weaves a tale of death, loss, and grief, and deftly fuses it with a horror story about what might lie at the bottom of the ocean.
