Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
The story revolves around Tova Sullivan, a widow who works the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, where she forms an unexpected bond with Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus. As Tova grapples with the unresolved disappearance of her son, Marcellus, with his keen intelligence and observational skills, becomes an unlikely ally in uncovering the truth. Through their unique connection, the novel explores themes of loss, healing, and the surprising ways in which different lives can intersect and bring about profound change.
