Our Wives Under the Sea is a beautifully written book. It's more thoughtful than most horror, much of it taking place in the minds of the two main characters, Mira and Leah. The story leaves a lot of questions unanswered, and the reader has to use her own imagination. I suspect this tale will stick with readers and we'll all be filling in our own blanks, coming up with a hundred different possibilities.
What was the big eye on the bottom of the ocean? Why is Leah changing? What was Jelka hearing? What ever happened to Matteo? What the hell happened to Matteo? And was that little bitty St. Brendan moving around on its own? That little dude was creepier than the big eye. Our Wives Under the Sea is way different than the books with never ending action. Lots of description, both lovely and gross. Lots of memories and thoughts. It's a good novel for those who love the beauty of language.
Thank you to Flatliron Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review an eARC of Our Wives Under the Sea.
