The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating

“Part short biography, part ecological study, Elizabeth Tova Bailey shares her story of chronic illness and how a snail became her confidant through it.”

“I picked this up as the title caught my eye and I finished it in one sitting. I didn’t expect to be emotionally attached to a snail. The author is given a wild snail to keep her company during a phase of debilitating illness, it is full of insight and little discoveries that make it a moving read.”
