“Remarkably Bright Creatures is a beautiful examination of how loneliness can be transformed, cracked open, with the slightest touch from another living thing.” -- Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here
For fans of A Man Called Ove, a charming, witty and compulsively readable exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope that traces a widow's unlikely connection with a giant Pacific octopus
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.
Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.
Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late.
Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.

4.5 ⭐️ such a unique story, very simple yet very complex. I just loved it 🥰 it is literally a peaceful story with a beautiful setting. Everybody is connected somehow and it is a full circle story. 🩵

This book deals with loneliness, loss, ageing, identity, in a heartwarming way. The narrators did a fantastic job, Micheal Urie as Marcellus is just perfect

Hikayenin nereye varacağını daha çok başlarda tahmin etmeme rağmen hiç sıkılmadan dinledim. Keyifli içinizi yumuş yumuş edecek bir hikaye. Bence deniz tatiline iyi gider. 🙃
