This book is a delight.
Will it change your life? Probably not. But the highly improbably story of a widow in a small town befriending an octopus sucked me in.
The story is sweet.
It offers a glimpse into the lives of the people in a small town. It vividly demonstrates the fact that everyone has their own story and that story is always bittersweet.
The story begins with "Day 1,299 of My Captivity." The first entry is from the octopus, Marcellus, point of view. Obviously this captures the readers attention and begs explanation.
Next on the list of characters is Tova Sullivan. She is widowed and her only son drowned just after graduating high school.
She is lonely. Enter Marcellus. And others. The book is populated by interesting people all trying to figure out life.
I definitely recommend it. Sweet and charming read.
