Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt (355 pages)
A charming, witty and compulsively readable exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope that traces a widow’s unlikely connection with a giant Pacific octopus. Tova Sullivan, who works as a night cleaner at an aquarium forms a connection with an octopus named Marcellus. Their bond leads to the unraveling of a decades-old mystery surrounding the disappearance of Tova’s son, Erik, while also exploring themes of grief, connection, and second chances. The story is also partially narrated from the octopus’s intelligent and witty perspective.
