About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
This is wintering. It is the courage to stare down the worst parts of our experience and commit to healing them the best we can.
Wintering, the dormant periods in our lives, the dark moments we endure - which can be brought about through myriad of ways; from the death of a loved one to a sudden change in circumstances or mental health issues - can be lonely and damaging and catch us off guard.
Katherine May recounts her own year-long journey through winter and how she found strength and inspiration when life felt frozen. Part memoir, part exploration of a human condition, Wintering explores the healing nature of the great outdoors to help us overcome and embrace our own wintering experiences and how, much like nature, we can learn to appreciate these low periods, and what they have to teach us, before the ushering in of a new season.

Winter of Content
A profoundly personal, yet widely resonant and relate relatable, account of the concepts and practises of 'wintering', literally and figuratively. Beautifully written, beautifully narrated.

Really enjoyed this book
I listened to this book in 3 x days - I found it captivating and I could have listened to it in one sitting. Well written and well read, the truths I found in this book really spoke to me.

insightful ponderings on the dark and quiet
a very supportive listen for times when life is darker and the joyousness of existence is more distant

Amazing
This book was exactly what I needed for my personal winter. It's such a relief to know I'm not alone and that it's normal to go through cycles of good times and bad. I'm so grateful to Katherine for writing this book and sharing her story.

Restored my faith in weathering winter
The most memorable parts were the author losing her voice and having to find it again through doing singing lessons. She was such a giver to other people in her career. The other parts in the story I enjoyed were travel to countries in the world that have the best winters, her reading nurturing serious books in winter and trash in summer. Her love of cold water swimming, in oceans resonated with me too, except I take daily cold showers. Good for the blood pressure and resilience.

An amazing journey
This book takes you by the hand and leads you through an exploration of the author’s heart and mind, through the lens of winter, and the role it plays in our existence. A perfect narration brings the sharp glittering prose to life and I would now follow both the author and the narrator into an icy sea with the slightest encouragement.

Insightful
A thoughtful and insightful book, and in a way guide to inspire , inform and accompany us, with the acceptance one would hope to find in a dear friend, when we face life’s winters.
