The amphibious cult classic: a magical tale of a suburban housewife's affair with a frogman called Larry ... 'Still outpaces, out-weirds, and out-romances anything today.' Marlon James
''Genius ... A broadcast from a stranger and more dazzling dimension.' Patricia Lockwood
'So curiously right, so romantically obverse, that it creates its own terrible, brilliant reality.' Sarah Hall
'A feminist masterpiece: tender, erotic, singular.' Carmen Maria Machado
'A devastating fable of mythic proportions ... Wondrously peculiar.' Irenosen Okojie (foreword)
Dorothy is a grieving housewife in the Californian suburbs, mourning the death of her young son and a recent miscarriage. Her husband is unfaithful, but they are too unhappy to get a divorce. One day, she is doing chores when she hears strange voices on the radio announcing that a green-skinned sea monster has escaped from the Institute for Oceanographic Research - but little does she expect him to arrive in her kitchen. Muscular, vegetarian, sexually magnetic and excellent at housework, Larry the frogman is a revelation - and their passionate affair takes them on a journey beyond their wildest dreams . . . Rachel Ingalls's Mrs Calibanis a bittersweet fable, a subversive fairy tale - as magical today as it was four decades ago
'A miracle . A perfect novel.' New Yorker
'Every one of its 125 pages is perfect ... Clear a Saturday, please, and read it in a single sitting.' Harper's
What Readers Are Saying:
'Maybe the most gorgeous, lyrical book ever written'*****
'A fantastic wee novel, strange and brilliant, and absolutely the inspiration for The Shape of Water.'*****
'Wonderful, sharp minimal prose offers big truths. Superb - brilliant, in fact.'*****
'Absolutely incredible. It's weird, funny, and heartbreaking, like a Richard Yates novel except with lizardman sex.'*****
'One of the best tongue-in-cheek social satires that I've ever read. It delves into gender politics. It takes a long, hard look at mental health. It addresses female sexual freedom and agency. It asks the reader to examine what it means to be human ... Genius.'*****
'Really brilliant: a deconstruction of suburbia by way of monster movies that examines sad realities with hilarious verve ... Sometimes you need a sexy frog person to break you out of the ties that bind. '*****
'Hooked me so deeply I picked it up and finished it the same night ... Beautiful, with some air of tragedy that left me surprised and craving more ... Will stay with me.'*****
'What the hell just happened?'*****
