The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus by Emma Knight
The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus is a “charming and heartfelt” novel that offers compelling portraits of womanhood, motherhood and female friendship, along with the irresistible intrigue surrounding an extraordinary British family.
It’s more than just a “layered family mystery,” — it’s also a campus novel and coming-of-age story, chock full of literary references (think Brideshead Revisited, Never Let Me Go, Macbeth.)
I did hybrid audiobook/regular book and preferred the regular book.
This book is for you if:
You have a thing for posh Scots.
You always wanted to be a houseguest at a Saltburn-type castle.
You kinda wish you had gone to St. Andrew’s with Will and Kate.
