PRAISE FOR ENCHANTMENT

"Profound" - NPR Morning Edition

"Shimmering... An invocation of a better story to tell ourselves." - Maria Popova, The Marginalian

"I love Katherine May's new book, Enchantment. She is so smart, tender hearted, thoughtful. It's actually enchanting, so wise and lyrical, down to earth and mystical, personal and universal. It's a beautiful offering of light, truth and charm in these strange, dark times." - New York Times bestselling author Anne Lamott

"Katherine May gave so many of us language and vision for the long communal 'wintering' of the last years. Welcome this beautiful meditation for the time we've now entered. I cannot imagine a more gracious companion. This book is a gift." - New York Times bestselling author Krista Tippett

"Luminous. Enchantment is truly enchanting. Katherine May's authorial voice casts a spell that helps us see the magic in everything, including ourselves." - New York Times bestselling author Martha Beck

PRAISE FOR KATHERINE MAY'S PREVIOUS WORK

"There is power and clarity and wisdom to be gained from accepting these difficult times. Wintering offered me empathy, acceptance and perspective that will stay with me long after the pandemic." - New York Times

"Honest and deeply sympathetic...proves that there is grace in letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the dark...May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady, honest and accurate--capturing the sense, the beauty and the latent power of our resting landscapes." - Wall Street Journal

"May writes beautifully....A contemplative, hopeful, consoling book." - NPR

"A gorgeous book, a generous book, a layered book of uncommon sensitivity and substance...A splendid and soul-salving read." - Maria Popova, Brain Pickings

"Wintering is every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. Katherine May thoughtfully examines the emotional, spiritual, and geographical reality of the cold times, the dark days, and those periods of our lives when things are neither soft nor easy. In so doing, she offers a great and humane service to her readers: she shows us that wintering cannot be avoided, but need not be feared. This is truly a beautiful book." - New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert
