"Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt
Book club was hosted by Rosemary on June 16. We started with baked ziti with meatballs , salad and had various desserts.
The book was “Remarkably Bright Creatures “ . The main characters, are Tava and Marcellus, a giant Pacific Octopus , who lives at the aquarium where Tava works the night shift . Tava is a widow, cleaning , tidying up and keeping busy , which helps her to cope with her 18 year old son Erik’s mysterious disappearance from his boat 30 years ago. Tava and Marcellus establish a bond and unusual friendship.
Marcellus , the detective deduces what happened the night of Erik’s disappearance and uses various tricks to unearth the truth to Tava before it’s too late.
Uncovering the past helped Tava uncover a future she felt was impossible.
The book was enjoyed by all of us in attendance and it was recently available as a movie on Netflix with Sally Field as Tava !
It was also a good discussion regarding the amazing traits , both physical and mental of the giant octopus. Amazing creatures !
We missed Pat, Grace , Sharon and Rennie.
