Remarkably Bright Creatures is a moving and uplifting novel about friendship, loss, and the unexpected connections that can change our lives.

After the death of her husband, Tova Sullivan finds comfort working the night shift at the local aquarium. Still carrying the pain of her teenage son's unexplained disappearance decades earlier, she quietly goes about her routine—until she forms an unlikely friendship with Marcellus, a remarkably intelligent giant Pacific octopus.

Observant, witty, and endlessly curious, Marcellus has noticed more than anyone realises. As he pieces together the truth behind the mystery that has haunted Tova for years, he becomes determined to help her find the answers she has long been searching for.

Heartwarming, humorous, and beautifully written, Remarkably Bright Creatures is an unforgettable debut that celebrates hope, healing, and the extraordinary bonds that can form in the most unexpected places.
