” My books are marked down because most of them are marked with a on the edge by publishers.”
When Julia Martin visits the Greek islands of the Dodecanese, beauty and
suffering seem inextricable. On the Sponge Islands follows her journey
through Rhodes, Symi, Halki, Kalymnos, and Patmos to trace the cultural
and ecological legacy of sponge diving. Because of their wonderful porosity,
sea sponges have always been perfect for a myriad of human uses, and
men from the islands had been diving for them and trading them since
antiquity. In the late nineteenth century new deep sea diving suits made it
possible to mine the seabed as never before and bring home untold wealth.
It was a rich harvest that came at the cost of many lives. And it couldn’t
last. Everything, one might say, flowed through sponges. Until it didn’t.

This is not a book about breakups. It’s about erasure. About the quiet harm that can live inside love, the kind that doesn’t leave bruises on the skin but rewrites the architecture of your mind. It’s for anyone who’s wondered whether they were overreacting, too sensitive, too much, too little. Anyone who has asked, ‘Am I the problem?’
