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

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

Bailey is a wonderful nature observer who writes with an unmatched sensibility that warms your heart and brings tears to your eyes. The vivid descriptions invoke lush forests, and Bailey’s sense of wonder compels the reader to delve deeper into the writings of naturalists, who are often quoted. The chapters are filled with information, and it’s true it sometimes hinders the flow of reading. But Bailey’s narration is so serene, her reflections on life, illness, and animals so therapeutic, this book is one everyone should keep to return to when in need of calming.
