Written with a sense of wonder and place, amusement, and intrigue, this human-snail story is a quick and fascinating read worthy of discussion. After a sudden illness confines the author to bed, a friend strangely adds a wild snail to her bedside violet plant. The active snail’s life unfolds before her eyes to reveal a hidden world of mystery, courtship rituals, clear decision making, and cryptic defenses.
