Story5 out of 5 stars 47,693
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
An invasion of mysterious bugs, the discovery of hundreds of skeletons in the backyard and occasional visitations from a ghost who smoked Marlboro Lights weren't what I had in mind when I dreamed of owning a home in Tuscany. My search for a quaint country house in move-in condition near Florence instead led to the purchase of an abandoned church we fondly referred to as "The Italian Money Pit", and the project took several years to complete.

Kyle’s account of her restoration project in Tuscany is candid and fun. It reminded me of some of my most quirky, memorable and scenic experiences traveling in Tuscany. A quick read, I found Pamela Almand’s performance very expressive, as if the experience had been her own. I listened on a trip from Atlanta to Charlotte and will probably give it a second hearing on my way back to Atlanta’
