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.
