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.

A Must Read (Listen)
- By Patricia on 06-03-21
By: Marianne Cronin
Publisher's summary
An unforgettable and heartwarming debut about how a chance encounter and a list of library books helps forge an unlikely friendship between two very different people—a lonely London widower and a troubled teenager.
Widower Mukesh lives a quiet life in the London Borough of Ealing after losing his beloved wife. He shops every Wednesday, goes to Temple, and worries about his granddaughter, Priya, who hides in her room reading while he spends his evenings watching nature documentaries.
Aleisha is a bright but anxious teenager working at the local library for the summer when she discovers a crumpled-up piece of paper in the back of To Kill a Mockingbird. It's a list of novels that she's never heard of before. Intrigued, and a little bored with her slow job at the checkout desk, she impulsively decides to read every book on the list, one after the other. As each story gives up its magic, the books transport Aleisha from the painful realities she's facing at home.
When Mukesh arrives at the library, desperate to forge a connection with his bookworm granddaughter, Aleisha passes along the reading list…hoping that it will be a lifeline for him too. Slowly, the shared books create a connection between two lonely souls, as fiction helps them escape their grief and everyday troubles and find joy again.

Story4 out of 5 stars 5,491
When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them.

When Maggie Banks arrives to run her best friend's struggling bookstore, she expects to sell bestsellers to the small-town clientele. But with the town on the map as a top literary destination and the tourist society bent on keeping businesses historic, Maggie is banned from selling anything written this century. So, when a series of mishaps suddenly tip the bookstore toward ruin, Maggie will have to get creative to keep the shop afloat. And in Maggie's world, bookish rules are made to be broken.

Delightful Story for Readers
This story touched my soul in a way that I haven’t felt with a book in awhile. It’s a wonderful story of community intertwined with books. And the reading list reminded me of a lot of old “friends” that I haven’t read in a long time that I’m going to revisit.

Great Read
The story of a lonely teenager working in a library whose mother is severely depressed and dependent on her two children for her care. Add a depressed widower who finds his way into the library seeking ideas for books to read as his wife use to love reading. Finally add a list of books the teenager found with a list of books on it. Put the three together and you have a book that makes you laugh and cry and teaches you about friendship

I really appreciate the various narrators. Their voices helped the characters come alive. The story was simple and sad, often like life.

A Beautiful Debut!
I enjoyed the characters in the novel so much! The friendship that evolved between the young librarian and the grandfather was lovely to witness. I especially appreciated the emphasis on good literature. Books can and do open our minds and hearts to a whole new world at times and can also help the reader resolve some personal issues.
