A review by bethsreading
The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced
The author writes of their experience observing a wild snail living on their nightstand while they were bed-bound with a chronic illness. It is a beautiful and insightful meditation on the phenomenal abilities of snails, the incredibly fast pace of the human everyday, and the societal isolation of unwell people who can not keep up with such speeds. A short but impactful read that I highly recommend (especially if you want to learn some cool snail facts)
