Description
Tova Sullivan took the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium after her husband died, partly to fill the hours and partly because staying busy is easier than sitting with the fact that her eighteen-year-old son vanished off a boat thirty years ago and was never found. She strikes up an unlikely friendship with Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus who’s considerably more perceptive than anyone gives him credit for. Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel became a word-of-mouth bestseller on the strength of exactly that odd, gentle premise.
