Dorothy and her husband Fred live in the same house but live separate lives. One night a frogman stranger enters the house as Dorothy is alone in the kitchen. Listening to the radio she knows he has escaped from the Institute and is wanted for murder. She hears his story and becomes close to him....
The ease with which Rachel Ingalls slips you into this world is amazing, and the text flows so naturally. Ingalls somehow managed to make a giant frogman seem normal and human. Many times during the story I wondered if the frogman was even real. The ending is wild, and makes you reconsider everythin...
A quick and unsettling little read about an unhappy woman who finds brief happiness with a sea monster -- but it all ends badly for everyone. Thought provoking.
GAAAAAAAA!!! This novella is just freaky!
A quirky tale of middle aged angst in which a woman finds a 6’7” frog in her home. She hides him, and eventually comes to love him. This is about love, marriage, getting older, disappointment, amorous adventure, isolation. A nice small tale.
