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.

I absolutely loved this book, I connected with it from start to finish and it has helped me view my life in a different way. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has 'wintered' or suspects they may need to.

This wasn’t my usual kind of listen but I just loved the way it was written, almost poetic. A lot of it resonated with me and I think it’s one I’ll come back to given how disappointed I was when it finished.
A gentle, poetic and comforting listen. Beautifully written, beautifully read.

Calming, honest, reassuring and makes you realise that so many of us feel overwhelmed and need to have some time to 'winter' until we feel a little better.

Recommend for anyone feeling a little lost or like the world is just too much at the moment.

Gentle and loving, We all go through periods of wintering and the author shows us how to be kind to ourselves through this time and a better understanding of how to embrace it. A true gem of a book 💗

Thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully written book! Heard an extract on a BBC podcast and thought it sounded up my street.
I have never heard of wintering until this book completely on board with this theory! So many relatable moments within the story, inspirational and chicken soup for my January-blue ears! Have recommended to a few people.

Brilliant
