Remarkably Bright Creatures

A quiet but compelling story about loss and grief, how they affect us and how, if we’re lucky, we find the ability to move on with our lives. The story is set in a small tourist town in northern Washington and features characters who are both interesting and immediately recognizable. As interesting as these humans are, the true star of this debut novel is Marcellus. Irascible, ingenious, observant, and full of surprises, Marcellus' running commentary on the humans around him and their activities is a joy to read.
