Our Wives Under the Sea
by Julia Armfield
dark
mysterious
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Sooo I may be from an island, but this actually terrified me ðŸ˜
Can you imagine going on a 3 week research trip underwater, to then being stuck beneath the surface for SIX MONTHS?!?
Abso-fckn-lutely not.
The quiet subtlety in its horror and the psychological eerie vibes were on point. I liked the dual POVs between the wives and getting to learn more about each of them.
Not to mention the obscurely ambiguous ending?! I’ll definitely need to reread this one in the future because I think I’ll uncover some tidbits I might’ve missed during my first read. A brilliant and strange little story that might give me some nightmares tonight.
