A review by ekp10
Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls
2.0
2.5
I like her style of writing. It flows effortlessly through the minutia of day-to-day lives. I’m just not a big fan of stories where everyone is having an affair. I guess it perfectly illustrated a typical boring marriage.
It has a pretty interesting premise - Shape of Water-esque, but I want more out of the story. I feel bad for Mrs. Caliban. At the end, she gained her freedom, something she probably didn’t really want and it cost her so much.
The novella tied everything together at the end, but I didn’t feel satisfied. I devoured this book, hoping for more, but at the same time glad the story stopped where it did.
