PRAISE FOR WINTERING
“A beautiful, meditative book…It feels like Katherine May opens up
exactly what I and so many need to hear but haven’t known how to
name.” – Krista Tippett, On Being
“There is power and clarity and wisdom to be gained from accepting
these difficult times. Wintering offered me empathy,
acceptance and perspective that will stay with me long after the
pandemic.” – New York Times
“Honest and deeply sympathetic...proves that there is grace in
letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the
dark...May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady,
honest and accurate—capturing the sense, the beauty and the latent
power of our resting landscapes.” – Wall Street Journal
“Wintering succeeds in delivering a powerful, realtime account
of what it is to experience life's inevitable winters — both
literal and metaphorical — and come out on the other side. I can
think of no more valuable voice to have in your ear as we stumble
our way out of a pandemic and emerge from a collective wintering.”
