September Book Group – September 15

On September 15 at 2:30, we will discuss Remarkably Bright Creatures 
by Shelby Van Pelt at St. Matthew’s.
 
What does a misanthropic octopus have in common with Tova, a widow working as the night-shift janitor at the Sowell Bay Aquarium? Not much, until a friendship develops following a daring tank rescue, and curmudgeonly Marcellus, ever the detective, happily uses all eight of his tentacles, his three hearts, plus his sharp brain, to solve the soul-scarring mystery of Tova’s son Erik, who mysteriously vanished at sea over thirty years ago. Readers will fall hard for an acerbic cephalopod whose intervention in his new friend’s life sets her up for healing lessons in love, loss, and family in this utterly original, funny, wise, and heartwarming tale.
 
Save the date: On October 13 we will discuss The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray.
