The ultimate in feel-good novels, Remarkably Bright Creatures celebrates the healing power of love and friendship between generations, genders…and even species! Nearing retirement, Tova Sullivan performs her janitorial duties at the Sowell Bay Aquarium with meticulous grace. She finds herself enchantedly drawn to one of the aquarium residents, a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus. Readers soon learn that he is quite a wise and dignified (if a little curmudgeonly) fellow, as Marcellus narrates part of the story. And when a struggling young man named Cameron joins the cleaning crew, Marcellus steps in to connect the two humans.
