Online SciFi/Fantasy Book Club: A Letter from the Luminous Deep

This month in our Online Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Club, we’re getting sea-rious about our July theme: all things oceanic!
We’re reading A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvie Cathrall, an underwater fantasy told entirely through letters and research notes. No pressure to finish, just good vibes and fun convo!

E. is content with a solitary life in her extraordinary underwater home, until the discovery of a strange, beautiful creature outside her window prompts her to begin a correspondence with renowned scholar Henerey Clel. The letters they share are filled with passion, at first for their mutual interests, and then, inevitably, for each other.

But when a mysterious seaquake destroys E.'s home, she and Henerey vanish.

A year later, E.'s sister Sophy and Henerey's brother, Vyerin, must piece together the letters, sketches and field notes left behind and learn what their siblings’ disappearances might mean for life as they know it.
