A review by melodyriggs
Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls

emotional reflective tense fast-paced

3.0

 This was a weird one, but at the heart of the absurd story of a woman recovering from tragedy falling in love with a frogman, is the story of wanting to be loved. Mr. Caliban is dealing with their personal tragedies by having affairs. Mrs. Caliban is just sad, until an amphibious man shows up in her kitchen after escaping from an institute. They begin affair with her hiding the frog man in the guest bedroom until it no longer becomes safe for the frog man to stay there. On the whole, it's good writing, just a weird story. Not sure if this would be a good one for seniors in AP or not (I've been reading short novels to kind of look at whether or not they would be good ones to add in for juniors and seniors whose class loads don't provide a lot of time for reading but want good literature).
