Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

THE RUNAWAY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. “Katherine May opens up exactly what I and so many need to hear but haven't known how to name.” —Krista Tippett, On Being. “Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself . . . This is truly a beautiful book.” —Elizabeth Gilbert. “Proves that there is grace in letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the dark... May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady, honest and accurate.” —Wall Street Journal. From the author of Enchantment, Wintering is an intimate, revelatory exploration of how we care for ourselves when life knocks us down. Through illness, family upheaval, and personal loss, May discovers how rest, retreat, and acceptance can transform hardship. Blending memoir with lessons from literature, mythology, and nature—solstice rituals, hibernating dormice, icy swims, Arctic voyages—Wintering reveals the power and beauty of fallow seasons. May invites readers to embrace life’s cycles, finding nourishment in quiet, joy in stillness, and renewal in the turning of a new season.
