Katherine May’s Wintering tops the bestselling charts in the paperback category four years on from first publication in the UK
We are delighted to share that four years on from publication Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May is a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller.
This extraordinary resurgence of Katherine’s bestselling book is a testament to Wintering‘s timely and continual appeal, urging us to retreat and repair ourselves in the slow winter season. A poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, Katherine May thoughtfully shows readers how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life.
Wintering was No.5 on the Indie bestseller list and was No. 13 on the New York Times Non-fiction hardcover list for three weeks in 2021. The book reached No. 7 in the Sunday Times paperback bestseller list in 2022 and again in 2024, ascending to No.1 last weekend.
A beautiful, gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows
Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path
We all experience periods of ‘wintering’ in our lives and this book shows us how to embrace the uncertainty that can come with it. A beautiful book that can be enjoyed in both winter and summer
Lara Maiklem, author of Mudlarking
An elegant investigation into the consolations of nature and how it can be wonderfully restorative even on the bleakest of days

Wintering is the book equivalent of a perfectly timed hug you didn’t know you needed, a warm blanket on a cold day … it’s exactly what the world needs right now
