Summary

The amphibious cult classic: a magical tale of a suburban housewife's affair with a frogman....

Dorothy is a grieving housewife in the Californian suburbs; her husband is unfaithful, but they are too unhappy to get a divorce. One day, 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. Larry the frogman is a revelation – and their passionate affair takes them on a journey beyond their wildest dreams....

Free flowing, gripping and impactful

Loved the Novel- for just 125 pages it an allegory of patriarchy , assumed responsibility that women carry in their minds and bodies suppressing their desires while seek validation and acceptance from the society. It a compelling tale of fantasy, romance, sadness combined with surrealism, social satire and outside in view of human nature. Loved the characterization of Larry who has so many layers and the two contrasting women who friendship sways as the tale takes unexpected twists towards the end. Time well spent
