Book Club: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt (368 pages)

Description:
A widow forms an unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus and together they uncover the truth about her son's disappearance.

Reviews:

• “Remarkably Bright Creatures [is] an ultimately feel-good but deceptively sensitive debut about what it feels like to have love taken from you, only to find it again in the most unexpected places. . . . Memorable and tender.” — Washington Post
• “A heartwarming novel to suit any mood.” — New York Times

Optional Happy Hour: Following the discussion, we'll choose a nearby place together for Happy Hour.
