Julia Armfield โ€“ Salt Slow

Nine variations on grotesque femininity

The Quill and the Quasar
Our Wives Under the Sea was interesting and strange.
Miri and Leah are chalk and cheese, but happily married until Leah takes a job for a shadowy organisation. Her research trip to the bottom of the ocean extends beyond its three week term. Six months later, she returns home changed in inexplicable ways.
Told in alternating chapters by Miri and Leah, there's a lot to like about this #DebutNovel from #JuliaArmfield.

Our Wives Under the Sea

Another debut novel, this time from Julia Armfield, who I heard speak about Our Wives Under the Sea at a literary event in March 2022. Her reading from the novel and her discussion of the strangeneโ€ฆ

What I Think About When I Think About Reading
One other adder to brief thoughts on The Giant Dark, I was in a way reminded of Gibson's Idoru, the fans obsession with a singer, the organisation and determination to find out about the singer's new relationship. The book was recommended by Daisy Johnson and Julia Armfield, both of whom I have read and enjoyed and recommended in the last year or two. #WilliamGibson #JuliaArmfield #DaisyJohnson #idoru #reading #bookstodon #books
Another quote from Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield: โ€œMy heart is a thin thing these days - shred of paper blown between the spaces in my ribsโ€

A week for dark stuff. I finished #OurWivesUnderTheSea by #JuliaArmfield so there's the lesbian speculative horror romance element. I read a lot of diverse speculative fiction, mostly #scifi but the odd horror. So this was quite dark
Then a trip to #MrOrgan again dark, this time a documentary with lots of gay guys, a brilliant movie by #DavidFarrier
