What starts out as a ruthless vendetta against the snails that are decimating her hostas becomes a journey of discovery into the whys & wherefores of snail life. When Ruth dumps a group of the worst offending snails in a far-off wood she decides to paint their shells with nail varnish just to see what happens. & guess what they come back home.

With charming illustrations A Slow Passion is a sweet funny & surprising investigation into the hidden life of snails which will change the way you look at the smaller (and slower) things in life. ...
