This is a near perfect read for me, and I'm simultaneously unsettled yet transfixed by what I just read. Our Wives Under The Sea is beautiful and horrifying in a strange sort of way. One of the weirdest books I've ever read, but one that will stick with me for a while (and one that has imbued me with a newfound fear of deep water.)
