“Remarkably Bright Creatures” centers on Tova Sullivan, a widowed woman who works the night shift cleaning a small-town aquarium as she quietly lives with unresolved grief over her son’s long-ago disappearance. During her solitary shifts, she forms an unlikely bond with Marcellus, a curmudgeonly but brilliant giant Pacific octopus who observes far more about the humans around him than they realize, and whose subtle interventions begin to nudge buried secrets toward the surface. As the story weaves in a drifting young man searching for purpose and family, their intersecting lives explore themes of connection, second chances, and the surprising ways both people and animals can help one another heal without veering into explicit plot reveals.
