Many thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books and Dreamscape Media for gifting me an audio ARC of this intriguing book by Julia Armfield, hauntingly narrated by Annabel Baldwin & Robyn Holdaway- 3.5 stars rounded up!
Leah is a marine biologist and left for an expedition. There were issues and the submarine sank to the bottom of the sea. When she finally resurfaces and returns home, wife Miri knows that something is badly wrong. Leah is physically ill, barely eats and spends all her time in the bathroom, with taps constantly running. Miri is desperate for answers.
Told in alternate POV and timelines - Leah during her expedition and Miri at home. The tone of the writing took on a Gothic flair and there was an underlying creepy feeling throughout. The narrators' voices were perfect for this writing style as well. But although it was short, I felt that the book dragged for me and I couldn't get too invested. Loved the creepy ending though!
