Description
This year’s worldwide bestseller! An ironic and kind story about the friendship between a lonely old cleaning woman and a giant octopus-detective.
After her husband dies, Tova works the night shift as a cleaner at an aquarium, mops the floors, wipes the windows… and has conversations with various sea creatures. She’s been dealing with her grief for thirty years—ever since Erik, her eighteen-year-old son, disappeared in a mysterious way.
One of Tova’s “conversational partners” at the aquarium is the misanthropic Marcell—a giant Pacific octopus. This philosopher and observer (by octopus standards, not so young) was bored in a cramped tank and entertained himself by solving the riddles of human life around him. But helping people—wrongdoers who took away his freedom—was not his plan. Until he met Tova. This sad yet funny woman intrigued Marcell. And, like a real detective, the giant octopus gets involved in investigating the mystery of Erik’s disappearance.
“Uncommonly Smart Creatures” is American author Shelby Van Pelt’s debut book, which unexpectedly became the most discussed novel and one of the main American bestsellers of the year. In the first half year, sales worldwide exceeded one million copies! This story is guaranteed to lift your mood and let you see our ordinary human life from an unusual angle—through the eyes of a wise and kind creature.
