Publisher's summary

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 Caliban is 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
