Our Wives Under The Sea - Julia Armfield

I know we love a dark literary fiction, gothic woman book at Phlox but this one is an absolute knock out! A debut novel that skilfully negotiates the changing nature of relationships, a shifting sense of selfhood and the mystery of trauma.
So readable, sticks with you long after you finished, and a bookshop fave.

….

Leah has been away from her wife, working on a deep sea expedition that has ended in catastrophe. Leah’s return should feel like a return to normality but Miri knows her wife is altered.
