A veces te escapas por las grietas: circunstancias imprevistas como una enfermedad repentina, la muerte de un ser querido, una ruptura o la pérdida del trabajo pueden descarrilar una vida. Estos períodos de dislocación pueden ser solitarios e inesperados. Para May, su esposo se enfermó, su hijo dejó de asistir a la escuela y sus propios problemas médicos la llevaron a dejar un trabajo exigente. Invernando explora cómo ella no solo soportó este doloroso momento, sino que aprovechó las oportunidades singulares que le ofrecía.

Una conmovedora narración personal repleta de lecciones de la literatura, la mitología y el mundo natural, la historia de May ofrece instrucción sobre el poder transformador del descanso y el retiro. La iluminación surge de muchas fuentes: las celebraciones del solsticio y la hibernación del lirón, C.S. Lewis y Sylvia Plath, nadando en aguas heladas y navegando por los mares árticos.

En última instancia, Invernando nos invita a cambiar la forma en que nos relacionamos con nuestros propios tiempos de barbecho. May modela una aceptación activa de la tristeza y encuentra alimento en un retiro profundo, alegría en la belleza silenciosa del invierno y estímulo para entender la vida como cíclica, no lineal. May, un místico secular, forma una filosofía rectora para transformar las dificultades que surgen antes del inicio de una nueva temporada.

«May escribe maravillosamente. Un libro contemplativo, esperanzador y consolador.» NPR

«Un libro tan hermoso y curativo como la estación misma. Katherine May examina atentamente la realidad emocional, espiritual y geográfica de los tiempos fríos, los días oscuros y aquellos períodos de nuestras vidas en los que las cosas no son ni suaves ni fáciles. Al hacerlo, ofrece un gran y humano servicio a sus lectores: nos muestra que la invernada no se puede evitar, pero no hay que temer. Este es realmente un libro hermoso.» Elizabeth Gilbert

«Este libro es el equivalente a un abrazo perfectamente sincronizado que no sabías que necesitabas, una manta caliente en un día frío. Muchos libros sobre la adversidad se enfocan en formas de escapar de la incomodidad, y este libro de manera tan maravillosa y sincera dice que está bien estar aquí, incluso cuando duele. Es exactamente lo que el mundo necesita en este momento.» Nora McInerny

«Encantadora. May tiene un don para desencadenar comedias inesperadas. Hay tanto que atesorar aquí. Su conocimiento sensual es una alegría.» The Guardian

«May trae el ojo de un poeta y una comedia inesperada a esta fascinante celebración de nuestra temporada de barbecho.» Observer London

«Una lectura empoderadora y conmovedora que inspirará un espíritu de supervivencia incluso en los días más oscuros del invierno.» Town & Country UK

«Una elegante investigación sobre los consuelos de la naturaleza y cómo puede ser maravillosamente reconstituyente incluso en los días más sombríos.» Sunday Express

«Una mezcla bellamente escrita de memorias y filosofía. Con una pandemia que nos mantiene aislados de tantas maneras, May ofrece el consuelo y la comodidad que tanto necesitamos y un recordatorio de que las estaciones eventualmente cambian.» Booklist

«Una meditación íntima sobre la soledad y la transformación. Una evocación serena de una temporada oscura.» Kirkus Reviews

«En estas elegantes memorias, la periodista May encuentra la belleza y la transformación en un período difícil de su vida.» Publishers Weekly

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! AS HEARD ON NPR MORNING EDITION AND ON BEING WITH KRISTA TIPPETT

"Katherine May opens up exactly what I and so many need to hear but haven't known how to name." --Krista Tippett, On Being

"Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. . . . This is truly a beautiful book." --Elizabeth Gilbert

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

An intimate, revelatory book exploring the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down.

Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered.

A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas.

Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season.
