Barely eating and lost in her thoughts, Leah rotates between rooms in their apartment, running the taps morning and night. When she finally surfaces and returns home, her wife Miri knows that something is wrong. A marine biologist, she left for a routine expedition months earlier, only this time her submarine sank to the sea floor. “Shocking…Achingly poetic…Sharp and beautiful as coral polyps…Armfield exercises an exquisite-even sadistic-sense of suspense." -Ron Charles, The Washington Post

“A deeply strange and haunting novel in the best possible way…An impressive and exciting debut novel that may leave you thinking about your own relationships in a new light.” -NPR
