Page Turners book club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 1:00 PM.

We have two options for joining in on our book club, in person at the Gathering Place or via Zoom. The Gathering Place is located at 2304 Periwinkle Way. It sits behind the St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church (it’s the Noah’s Ark building). Please enter through the Dunlop entrance. It’s across from Big Arts.

Contact us at santivaislanders@gmail.com, for questions, to be added to the Page Turners’ email list, and to receive the Zoom information.

The book for discussion on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 is Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt.

After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. She 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.
Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
