Remarkably Bright Creatures

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Tova Sullivan works the night shift cleaning the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mostly to avoid the loneliness of her empty house since her husband died and her son mysteriously disappeared thirty years ago.

There she strikes up an unusual friendship with Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus nearing the end of his life, who has quietly observed the humans who pass by his tank for longer than anyone realises.

When Cameron, a troubled young man searching for his father, arrives in town, his path unexpectedly crosses with Tova’s and Marcellus’s, and the three of them work together to solve a thirty-year-old mystery. A charming, wise, and deeply moving debut about connection, loss, and the bonds that bind us together.
