Description:

A woman, confined to her bed, watches a snail, first on her night stand, then in a terrarium next to the bed. The limited world of the snail mirrors the limitations of her own and the reader learns, along with the author, about a creature either despised for its presence in the garden or admired for its taste with beurre blancâ€”but is otherwise rather a mystery. What follows is an oddly compelling story of a woman who finds companionship and beauty in the most unexpected of creatures.
