“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.”

“The first book that comes to mind is this. Just the most hopeful little treatise on noticing the world around you, no matter how slow or how small.”
