I loved reading What did the Deep Sea Say? Marion Coutts gently reveals to us a world seen as if for the first time. It's a miracle of a book -- Celia Paul A strange and beautiful meditation on endings and edges, grief and hope, love and sorrow . . . What Did the Deep Sea Say? takes the reader into a liminal space rich in revelation and reflection -- Gavin Francis Clear-eyed and courageous, her writing is an existential act -- Mark Wallinger
