This book filled me with a sense of wonder. A story of a woman's adjustment to a long and debilitating illness, a homage to the humble yet very complex snail, a spiritual journey into accepting and admiring the world as it is...this book is beautiful.

This book is very well written in the sense that the author ties in her story with the snails. Then she also shares facts about the life of a snail. This is a short, easy read that is worth it.
