This was as wholesome as it gets. It’s not everyday that you read from the POV of a grieving widow and mother, a man searching for his father, and a giant Pacific octopus. 

In addition to the unlikely friendship of Tova, the widow, and Marcellus, the octopus, there’s an air of mystery as their stories intertwine. Came for the sweet story and stayed for the subtle humor, fun imagery, and charming characters.
