As the book continues on, we continue to learn more and more about the character's in the story. After an incident at her job, Tova is forced to take medical leave and the aquarium has to hire someone in her place which happens to be Cameron . Cameron was brought to Sowell Bay looking for his father but ended up finding a job at the aquarium who happens to also meet Ethan and ends up staying with him while in town.
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt follows the relationship between a widowed woman named Tova Sullivan and the octopus at her aquarium job named Marcellus. Van Pelt chooses to write through a third person omniscient point of view so we have seen the perspectives of Tova, Marcellus, Ethan who owns the local grocery store and Cameron a struggling 26 year old.
pickLess fun to read than other animal books I‘ve read before but nonetheless a fascinating read!
pickCharming story about an octopus bringing a woman and her grandson together. I cried and couldn‘t put it down.
pickA follow up to a documentary series and her best selling Soul of the Octopus. Since octopuses are getting more popular, scientists are studying them more. The book highlights the newest things we have discovered about octopuses. New species, how they change colors, their intelligence, social behaviors etc.
It‘s been a while, Litsy! A delayed flight means passing the time with this delightful book. Give me a book with loveable characters and a good story and I can sit in an airport without cursing the airport gods. So far, I am hooked. Perhaps one of my top three of the year!?
Reading about my favorite marine animal, the octopus, in “Secrets of the Octopus“ by Sy Montgomery! I love Sy and have read several of her books, with more on my TBR list! This book also introduced me to @octonation , who I am now happily following on Instagram. 💗🐙
pickLoved loved loved this. If octopuses amaze you this is your setup to learn and then to want to see more. Great pictures. 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙
Jumping back to a nature book. Have to read this because just love these creatures. Written as a companion to the National Geographic series. Also her other book The Soul of an Octopus was amazing. Go give this a read.
