Description: Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss a fantastical debut audiobook that will enchant listeners. Gifted vocal artist Marin Ireland portrays Tova, a 70-year-old widow, and Ireland’s encouraging tones suit Tova, whose compassion touches everyone in her small Washington town. She cleans at an aquarium, where she has formed an unlikely friendship with Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus with acerbic wit and shrewd observations wonderfully captured by Michael Urie. A fanciful and enjoyable listening experience about community and friendship.Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Harper Audio.Find more audiobook recomm...
