Enchantment

Blurb

From the New York Times–bestselling author of Wintering, an invitation to rediscover the feelings of awe and wonder available to us all

In Enchantment, Katherine May invites the reader to come with her on a journey to reawaken our innate sense of wonder and awe. With humour, candour, and warmth, she shares stories of her own struggles with work, family, and the aftereffects of pandemic, particularly feelings of overwhelm as the world rushes to reopen.

Craving a different way to live, May begins to explore the restorative properties of the natural world, moving through the elements of earth, water, fire, and air and identifying the quiet traces of magic that can be found only when we look for them. Through deliberate attention and ritual, she unearths the potency and nourishment that come from quiet reconnection with our immediate environment.

Blending lyricism and storytelling, sensitivity and empathy, Enchantment invites each of us to open the door to human experience in all its sensual complexity, and to find the beauty waiting for us there.
