Description
Join us at the Bostwick Library for a book discussion! "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt tells a story of a recently widowed woman, Tova Sullivan, who finds an unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus at the Sowell Bay Aquarium where she works. The story follows Tova as she cleans the aquarium at night, bonding with the intelligent and curmudgeonly octopus, who helps her unravel the mystery of her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, disappearance over thirty years ago. While also weaving in the story of a young man searching for his father. It's a heartwarming and witty tale about loneliness, connection, and finding hope.
