Book 17: “Mrs. Calliban “ by #RachelIngalls.

Much preferred her other novella, “In the Act” which is Book 10 in this thread. This has many of the same building blocks, primarily a woman in a loveless marriage and a dated setting (1960s?). This time, the love interest is a “frog man”, and like “The Shape of Water”, they get it on: all over the house! Some lovely stretches of writing, but the ending was disappointing.

Book 10: “In the Act” by #RachelIngalls.

The tiny annoyances that accumulate in a marriage erupt into a delightful what’s-good-for-the-goose-is-good-for-the-gander story. Wonderfully petty. A quick read that could easily work on stage, as a Black Mirror episode, or a movie. Eat it up. I need to look up more of Ingalls’ work.
