- Queer Book Club - Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia ArmfieldCommonwealth Bar, Brooklyn, NY
**Welcome to Queer Book Club!
We read books about, for and written by queer people! Follow us on Instagram @queer_book_clubWe had a great time Wednesday at Commonwealth asking ourselves, did Patricia really just want to cuddle? For next month we chose to read Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
Our next meetup will be held on Wednesday June 12th at 7pm at Commonwealth in Park Slope BK
This month we will be reading Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield**
Miri thinks she has got her wife back, when Leah finally returns after a deep-sea mission that ended in catastrophe. It soon becomes clear, though, that Leah is not the same. Whatever happened in that vessel, whatever it was they were supposed to be studying before they were stranded on the ocean floor, Leah has brought part of it back with her, onto dry land and into their home.
Moving through something that only resembles normal life, Miri comes to realize that the life that they had before might be gone. Though Leah is still there, Miri can feel the woman she loves slipping from her grasp.
Our Wives Under The Sea is the debut novel from Julia Armfield, the critically acclaimed author of Salt Slow. It’s a story of falling in love, loss, grief, and what life there is in the deep deep sea.
**At the end of the discussion we can vote on which book we read for next month so bring a queer suggestion.
