Description

We'll be reading and discussing Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. Copies of the book are available at the SDCL for a 7-day checkout and are only available to club members until after the April meeting. "After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. 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. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late. 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." The SDCL Turn the Page Club is a group for adult readers. That's about it:) We love to get together and discuss great books. What kind of books do we read? You name it, we read it - anything from Historic Fiction to Thrillers to Teen Dystopian novels. It's a great way to break a reading rut and explore new genres. By getting together like this, we foster a love of reading and expand on reading comprehension. This is intended to be a safe space and negative comments and actions will not be tolerated. Come join the fun!
