Our Wives Under the Sea: How to Establish Themes When Your Point-of-View Character is Clueless

  • Summary

  • Carmen from Julia Armfield's debut novel Our Wives Under the Sea isn't necessary for the plot, but Emily got obsessed anyway (of course). In this episode, we discuss bringing side characters to life and using them to establish themes that your point-of-view character is too clueless to pick up on.
