saint_eleanor 's review for:

Le Nostre Mogli negli Abissi by Julia Armfield
3.5
dark emotional mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I love the banality of this title and how mysterious and slow it is and how gay as well, but i felt like the payoff at the end wasn't quite enough for me. I wanted to be a little more disturbed and a little less melancholy because the buildup took so long. But this is definitely a fire book and as a waterbaby i love the writing and the language 

 Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began.
