Did not take the spot of my favorite Rachel Ingalls, but I loved this dilemma of the modern wife and woman.

4.25 stars!!! Mrs. Caliban was one of my favorite books this year so of course I end my challenge with another Rachel Ingalls story. Ingalls was so adapt at portraying female rage in ways the reader would not expect. Her themes pack a punch, and the words she specifically uses just reek of intentionality. How she portrays housewife’s, the relationship between married men and women, and female desire, are just top notch. Her stories are a mix of domestic drama, and an A24 fantasy, filled with loads of meaning. Highly, highly recommend for a smart and satisfying book you can read in one afternoon.

The most perfect little 65 pages. What a whacky novella! I loved it.
