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.

Beautiful book..
I rarely finish a book on audible, I’m not sure why as when I read I never fail to finish a book but this one I devoured. The small moments of life that we all recognize. Really beautiful.

not what I expected
this wasn't quite what I expected but I really enjoyed it, part embrace of actual winter and part embrace of a more metaphorical one

Wintering
A comprehensive twist on so many traditions, experiences, and history of people and animal behaviour. A rack of different traditions all to do with habits of winter. Wintering used as narrative to depression. A relaxing insight to the authors perspectives. The audio felt like a comforting blanket at times.

Wonderfully gentle guide to slow, steady self car
I enjoyed the perspective of the author, not forcing any “must do” ideas but sharing the experience and facts from herself and others through difficult times.
I have recommended this book to others experiencing grief.

Super Interesting
I didn't know what to expect from this book and j have been pleasantly surprised. I genuinely read all the reviews and thought it was worth a read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This book gave lots of information, insights, ideas and theories without imposing any of them on the me. As a reader you can take on board as much or as little whilst enjoying the author's story and honesty. it resonated with me in so many ways. I will certainly reread and share this book. Thank you to the author for persevering and writing it.

Beautifully written and read
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.
