Remarkably Bright Creatures
By Shelby Van PeltAfter her husband’s death, Tova Sullivan takes the night shift at Sowell Bay Aquarium, cleaning glass and mopping floors, to keep herself busy. The routine tasks help keep her distracted from her recent widowing and the disappearance of her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanishing at sea over thirty years ago. While working there, she manages to form an unlikely friendship with Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus. Marcellus is far more intelligent than any of his keepers would know but doesn’t let on to anything for anyone - except for Tova.
