Snail Trail
A heartwarming tale about embracing the introvert within.
Sometimes she just needs a bit of alone time. At these moments, Marjorie wanders off to try to find a quiet space, but her friends and family just follow her trail of slime and find her.
How can I find some space for myself?’ wonders Marjorie, and as she wonders, she wanders, here and there, back and forth, this way and that until she is entirely and marvellously lost. But the joys of solitudeare short lived, and Marjorie swiftly realises that she can’t find her wayback.
Luckily, she stumbles on a good friend who helps her on her way and offers her some sage advice.
This is a timely and relatable book that brings to life the disjunction nthat we all occasionally feel between our introvert and extrovertselves, particularly in a post-lockdown era.
