After the disappearance of her son more than thirty years ago, Tova Sullivan has learned to cope with grief by keeping busy—especially during her night shifts at the Sowell Bay Aquarium. There, she forms an unexpected bond with Marcellus, a remarkably intelligent giant Pacific octopus who knows more about her past than anyone realizes. As Marcellus pieces together the truth behind her son’s disappearance, an unlikely friendship begins to change both of their lives.
Warm, hopeful, and deeply moving, this unforgettable novel explores grief, connection, and the surprising ways healing can find us.
