    Disappointing and tone deaf
  

*by S***) on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2020*

I quite frankly found this a little hard to read given I have a severe form of Crohn's disease myself and really wanted to both sympathise and empathise with the author. I totally understand that not everyone is stoic, but the whole bit where she was signed-off sick but effectively misled her employers and went off on holidays just didn't sit right.Self-care does not need to be done in conjunction with deception and fraud. That and the lack of self-awareness and introspection for a book that was supposed to be about just that, made me rather miserable. She seems to have met some wonderful people yet learned nothing - perhaps this is because of her self-confessed "aspergers" or "autism", but the utter lack of empathy, hypochondria and narcissism on display made this a pointless and difficult book to read.I would add that there are a number of wonderful books about the concept of looking to the darkness and stillness of both the real and metaphorical winter she describes in order to heal - the author seemed to understand none of this. Perhaps other people might find this a revelation, but it was deeply frustrating to see her speak to so many (clearly) wise people and utterly miss their point. A deeply disappointing read.

    Wise and warm meditation
  

*by T***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2020*

I read this beautiful book in one late night and very early morning: it creates a weather and time system of its own that I wanted to stay in. Braided with Katherine May's own experiences of hard or 'frozen' times are stories of her friends from other, colder climates, as well as fascinating historial and cultural perspectives on 'wintering' - resting, regrouping, lying fallow. I was particularly thrilled to learn about the pre-Industrial rest pattern of first and second sleeps. A book to gift to loved ones who are at the start of a big and unchosen life change, or to keep nearby for our own frozen times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Simply beautiful
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2020*

Wintering is an evocative ode to winter hibernation. A glorious blend of storytelling, natural history and culture, May's words are packed with warmth and humour. This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read, and I plan to take some time out to re-read it each year.
