This gentle yet deeply felt portrait of an extraordinary yet often overlooked creature was a true pleasure to spend time with. If you need encouragement to slow down and take in the wonders around you—or to feel your kinship with a strange and living world, pick up this peaceful yet powerful science memoir about the author’s time confined to a sickbed and the extraordinary companionship of a simple snail. 🐌
