'My favourite book of the last five years' 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.
'Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself' ELIZABETH GILBERT

KATALIN RUS a dat nota:
I just loved Katherine May’s beautiful literary hug. Once again, I certainly believe that some books come to us when we most need them. This is Wintering for me, a gift for myself in my own fallow period of life when I must rest and retreat. I know that we are in the middle of summer, but who said that there are no winterings in the summer? 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. As Katherine May writes:” We’re not raised to recognize wintering, or to acknowledge its inevitability. Instead, we tend to see it as a humiliation, something that should be hidden from view lest we shock the world too greatly. We put on a brave public face and grieve privately; we pretend not to see other people’s pain. We treat each wintering as an embarrassing anomaly that should be hidden or ignored. Yet we do this at a great cost. Wintering brings along some of the most profound and insightful moments of our human experience, and wisdom resides in those who have wintered.” One of my favourite part was following Katherine May’s experience in Iceland: the Gullfoss waterfall, Stokkur the geyser, meeting the tectonic plates in Pingvellir National Park. I might be an Icelandic wanderlust😊 Even though the winter season is still far, but my wintering is here, I am still enjoying these beautiful shiny summer days. Wishing you all, calm and shiny days.
