Join us for the first-ever, virtual TMAA Book Club! Our first pick is Remarkably Bright Creatures – a warm, charming story about Tova Sullivan, a widow in her 70s who works the night shift at a small-town aquarium, and Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus who is much more observant and opinionated than anyone realizes. Together, their story unfolds around a decades-old mystery involving Tova’s son, who disappeared as a teenager. 

The book is tender, quietly funny, and full of found-family warmth, with alternating chapters narrated by Marcellus, which readers tend to adore or find a little quirky – good book club fodder either way. The movie, starring Sally Field as Tova, also was recently released on Netflix – for more discussion fodder.  

Email tmaalliance@texmed.org to let us know if you’re planning to read along with us and to receive the Zoom link.
