Wintering

  • The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK

'A beautiful, gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows' RAYNOR WINN

'A book for the soul' CAITLIN MORAN

Wintering is a poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, times when we must retreat to care for and repair ourselves. Katherine May thoughtfully shows us how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life.

'Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself' ELIZABETH GILBERT

Reviews

  • A beautiful, gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows

    Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path

  • A book for the soul

    Caitlin Moran

  • We all experience periods of 'wintering' in our lives and this book shows us how to embrace the uncertainty that can come with it. A beautiful book that can be enjoyed in both winter and summer

    Lara Maiklem, author of Mudlarking

  • An elegant investigation into the consolations of nature and how it can be wonderfully restorative even on the bleakest of days

    Sunday Express

  • [A] sympathetic memoir ... May recounts how she attempted to embrace rather than resist the gloom and chill of winter ... she radiates sincerity and quiet self-knowledge
