![]() ![]() Each is deeper than the one before, posing greater and greater mysteries to scientists – culminating in the virtually unknown terrain of the Hadal Zone, named after the ancient underworld, Hades. Following an ill-fated submarine expedition into deep, uncharted waters, the novel is structured according to zones of ocean depth, in five sections: Sunlight Zone, Twilight Zone, Midnight Zone, Abyssal Zone, and Hadal Zone. Yet outside of literary criticism, depth is seldom given the kind of extended, psychological and thematic focus found in Julia Armfield’s assured debut novel, Our Wives Under the Sea – which treats depth as a site of horror, scientific enquiry, and semi-Freudian self-discovery. ![]() ![]() Go too far and you could even be said to have gone off the deep end or be in over your head. Something can be beneath one’s dignity or leave one out of their depth. One can sink low in failure – until reaching rock bottom. We look for insight by going in depth, hunting for a deeper understanding, going below the surface or getting to the bottom of something. Depth structures so much of our thoughts and everyday language. ![]()
