Book Discussion: Remarkably Bright Creatures

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.

We'll discuss Remarkably Bright Creatures and enjoy light refreshments.

In this novel, after Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium. 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.

This discussion cohosted with Turning Point Behavioral Health Care Center.
