Book Club - August 16

The Riverton Area Book Club will meet Saturday, August 17, to discuss the novel Remarkably Bright Creatures, by Shelby Van Pelt. Who knew that a giant octopus was so smart and personable! Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus, is known at his aquarium in Washington State's Sowell Bay as "that guy," "a special guy," and Marcellus McSquiddles. It is there that Tova Sullivan works the night shift and the two of them begin to interact in small ways. Tova, a widow, has lost her son in Puget Sound and is consumed by grief, especially because she does not know what happened to him. Marcellus has a clue, but can he get his message across to her? It is a story that mixes both sadness and amusement.
​


The book club meets from 10-11 am at the Riverton Village Library. For more information please call the Library at 217-629-6353. The group meets monthly on the third Saturday, excluding December. All are welcome to attend.
