( ) I've read and heard so much about this book an wasn't sure if I really wanted to read about an octopus. However, an opportunity presented itself to read and I dove in (no pun intended). Alter chapters were not just about Marcellus the octopus who lived in the aquarium but also about Tova who worked there and other residents who lived in this town in WA. There's a special connection between Marcelleus and Tova. She talks to him. There's another reason but you have to read it to find out. A lot of connections and not just in Washington state either. It all comes together right before the end. Marcellecus was one smart intellectual octopus that's for sure. I fell in love with Marcellus and his words and thoughts. It was a fun read. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"For fans of A Man Called Ove, a luminous debut novel about a widow's unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus reluctantly residing at the local aquarium-and the truths she finally uncovers about her son's disappearance 30 years ago"--
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. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
