Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through Edelweiss.
  fernandie | Sep 15, 2022 |
(Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC for review through Edelweiss.)

India is a 29-year-old elementary school teacher in Italy. With a loving boyfriend, ridiculously good looks, a cute apartment, and a fulfilling job, India seems to have it all. Yet she suffers from debilitating panic attacks. Her boyfriend Pier sometimes struggles to understand India; her mom is less than supportive; and, when some of the parents at her school find out about India's anxiety disorder, she's subject to ableist and misogynistic bullying, culminating in a campaign to get her removed from her job.

As someone who's dealt with social anxiety for most of her life, I leapt at the chance to review THE VERTICAL SEA. However, most of the story just fell flat for me.

For example, India recounts her story to a therapist, who offers some pretty questionable observations, e.g., "You are an obvious nervous temperament, as Hippocrates called it. You're slim, with a slender face, as if pressed by an invisible force." Mmmmkay.

In order to quell her young students' fears, India employs a story about a young woman named Hava conquering a light-eating monster, Kalabibi. It's a potentially engaging device, but mostly I just found the story weird and occasionally confusing.

The author is Italian, and some of the odd word choices left me thinking that some pieces of the story were simply lost in translation. ( )
