Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May

emotional reflective slow-paced

2.0

Overall I found this book difficult to get through, I almost DNF’d several times. It’s an interesting form of hybrid memoir but ultimately I don’t find the author’s story that compelling, and I walked away without any concrete examples of how to endure hard times, except for having the privilege to take voice lessons, travel to see the Northern Lights, or go for a dip in natural hot springs. I also think it’s worth noting that the Anglican vibes in this book are strong and somewhat unexpected, which I guess is understandable since the author is British, but at times I felt alienated by it.
