Histoire
Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of clothes and less than $200. The next anybody heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955, atop Maine's Mount Katahdin, she sang the first verse of "America, the Beautiful" and proclaimed, "I said I'll do it, and I've done it."

Histoire
Florence, 1500 - a city that glitters with wealth and artistic genius is also a place of fierce political intrigue, walled off from the unrest in the surrounding Tuscan countryside. In this moment, a peasant girl finds herself alone after her father is killed and her mother disappears. Young Beatrice must dare to enter the city to sell her family’s olive oil in order to survive, but also to search the streets and opium dens for her missing, grieving mother.

Histoire
It was Rachel Signer's dream to be that girl: the one smoking hand-rolled cigarettes out the windows of her 19th-century Parisian studio apartment, wearing secondhand Isabel Marant jeans and sipping a glass of Beaujolais redolent of crushed roses with a touch of horse mane. Instead she was an under-appreciated freelance journalist and waitress in New York City, frustrated at always being broke and completely miserable in love. When she tastes her first pétillant-naturel (pét-nat for short), it sets her on a journey of self-discovery.

Histoire
Most of us have at some point in our lives felt like an outsider, sometimes considering ourselves "too weird" to fit in. Growing up as a Russian immigrant in West Texas, Olga Khazan always felt there was something different about her. This feeling has permeated her life, and as she embarked on a science writing career, she realized there were psychological connections between this feeling of being an outsider and both her struggles and successes later in life.

Histoire
With simple yet descriptive prose, this novel gives voice to Nana the cat and his owner, Satoru, as they take to the road on a journey with no other purpose than to visit three of Satoru's longtime friends. Or so Nana is led to believe. With his crooked tail - a sign of good fortune - and adventurous spirit, Nana is the perfect companion for the man who took him in as a stray. And as they travel in a silver van across Japan, with its ever-changing scenery and seasons, they will learn the true meaning of courage and gratitude, of loyalty and love.

Fun short read that helps one appreciate life.
Narrated by a lady who is very ill, this story tells of how her pet snail helps her through the days. She learns many facts about her snail and other snails, but in the mean time, she and the reader learn lots about life. Enjoyable. Well read.

This is an unexpected wonder. The quiet virtues of the snail reflect the quiet voyage of the author.
I am so sick of being required to write a longer review than I wish. Why should people either write or read unnecessary verbiage.

3.5 Stars—But Quite Enjoyable
I kinda feel bad that I gave "Until I Say Good-Bye" the ALS good-bye letter 3-stars and I'm giving this precious little ditty 3.5, but it's like this, see? Susan Spencer-Wendel wasn't alone in her illness but Elizabeth Toya Bailey was.
It's easy to find joy, love, beauty when it's all around you because people you love are taking you places.
It's harder than hell to find it when you're immobilized by illness in a single room and can't even roll over.
I found so much wonder and joy in listening to this book; so much delight and humor. Raudman narrates with a growing curiosity, a liveliness, a sincerity that only the best narrators have. She does a really great job bringing the words to life and makes it seem as there is a (Ha!) growing friendship, I kid you not, developing between woman and snail.
When I listened to "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating," I couldn't help but think of Corrie Ten Boom and "The Hiding Place." When Corrie is imprisoned for helping hide Jews, a little ant comes to see her every day, and she sees the wonder in that, is grateful for that.
That's what really made my heart sing with this book. Someone finding wonder in something they might overlook otherwise, finding pleasure, finding grace.
And the only reason it's not a better rating? TOOOO much dry information. Really? Can you manage to make snail sex boring? Seeeeriously?!? I wound up blushing AND yawning...
But a charming book, all in all

Mandatory reading for the nature lover!
If you love the books Walden, or Braiding Sweetgrass...then this gem will be right up your alley!
This book helped me to more fully appreciate my health, nature's infinite details, and lessons waiting to be uncovered.

You won’t kill snails after this listen
My belief is that God ,in His mercy, sent this creature to this woman to help her get through an intense time of suffering. The author’s viewpoint is that of evolution, not creation. That being said, I am willing to overlook the difference of beliefs. I’ve never been a snail killer but would never consider doing that now. The information you will learn about snails in this short book is fascinating!

A rich, slow, informative meditation
This gently read story is not a quick listen. I fell asleep to it for many nights. However, a replay (for the parts I'd missed) proved to be worthy of my time and attention. The story is sprinkled with entertaining quotes that span hundreds of years and the author, unable to initially move, eventually recovers enough to become a thorough scientific observer; adding minute detail to the surprisingly rich field of life beneath our feet.

Extensive details of a snail
Amazing that reading about life of a snail could be so engrossing. Author weaves in her own story of her illness and philosophical thoughts of life.

Awesome story of nature and human nature!
I absolutely loved this story about the authors mysterious illness and her struggle to heal. Even though she was very ill with no energy or ability to move or take care of her own physical needs, she was given a little snail by a well meaning friend and that little snail provided her companionship, as well as a subject to study. The snail ultimately gave her a reason to continue participating in life although at a much slower, quieter pace. Because of the authors love of nature and her curiosity, she was able to focus on something other than her illness and her disability at the time, instead she focused on the little snail and she studied it and cared for it. This made her healing slowly and surely begin. Her scientific study of the snail is amazing, I learned so much and I loved the story!!
