Our Wives Under the Sea

Miri has spent months waiting for her wife to come home. When Leah finally returns from a deep-sea expedition that went disastrously wrong, relief gives way to uncertainty. The marine biologist who left their apartment seems increasingly remote, absorbed by water and unable to settle back into their shared life. Miri searches for an explanation while trying to hold on to the familiar intimacies of their marriage. Beneath that domestic unease lies the unanswered question of what happened inside a submarine stranded on the ocean floor. Moving between a relationship under strain and an encounter with the unknown, this novel brings grief, devotion and bodily transformation into unsettling proximity.
