The May book choice is "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by American author Shelby Van Pelt. According to Good Reads, this 2003 novel is "An exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope, tracing a widow's unlikely connection with a giant Pacific octopus… Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible."
