My rating: ?????
Wintering, How I learned to flourish when life became frozen, is a book that I read a little while ago, and only now, whilst writing the review in this time of Coronavirus, do I realise how needed this book is.
It’s about accepting that at times you need to withdraw, and that you can’t do everything with enthusiasm and bounce. That at times you need to take time for you.
Katherine May discovers Wintering when she is ill, her husband is seriously ill, and when both of them are getting better, her son hates school, and she decides to home school him.
It was an enjoyable read when I was reading it just in the winter, and thinking about the idea of having time to recuperate, and not be angry at yourself for not being able to do everything.
And then Coronavirus has happened, and the world is mostly in lock down.
This book looks at going into wintering, but also coming out of it. There is hope, and there is certainty that things will get better.
Wintering was published on 6th February 2020 and is available on Amazon and Waterstones, and through your local bookshop!
You can following Katherine May on Twitter and through her website.
