Why read it?
1 author picked The Octopus and I as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved the wild Tasmanian setting of this novel and the interweaving of human and anthropomorphic voices. Reading from an egg-laden octopus perspective was fascinating, and I enjoyed the multi-layered approach of following both human and animal stories.
