THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'It will do your soul good to read this.' NIGELLA LAWSON

A balm for our times from the internationally bestselling author of Wintering.

Our sense of enchantment is not only sparked by grand things. The awe-inspiring, the numinous, is all around us, all the time. It is transformed by our deliberate attention. The magic is of our own conjuring.

'
A total joy . . . Thoughtful, patient and beautifully written, like walking with a friend as dusk settles, this is the book your soul needs right now.'
CARIAD LLOYD

'Beautifully written.'
PHILIPPA PERRY

Feeling bone-tired, anxious and overwhelmed by the rolling news cycle and the pandemic age, Katherine May seeks to unravel the threads of a life wound too tightly. Could there be another way to live - one that feels more meaningful, more grounded in the places beneath our feet? One that would allow us to feel more connected, more rested and at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet?

Craving a different path, May explores the restorative properties of the natural world and begins to rekindle her sense of wonder. It is a journey that takes her from sacred wells to wild moors, from cradling seas to starfalls. Through deliberate attention and ritual, she finds nourishment and a more hopeful relationship to the world around her.

Enchantment is an invitation to each of us to experience life in all its sensual complexity and to find the beauty waiting for us there.

This was beautifully read by Rebecca Lee. A wonderful inspirational book by Katherine, I couldn't put it down. It really made me think about my own 'enchantment' and I feel like I want to get a physical copy of the book to read again now!

The first half of the book was thoroughly as described above. The second seemed like a repeat and not sure what was gained from it. All still nice to listen to as I’m working - not sure I’d want to read it though. Overall a concept many feel and isn’t addressed, Katherine does a wonderful job vocalising these feelings that look inside most of us, and has brought me closer to myself. So thank you for that Katherine.

Enjoyable and relatable

A gentle and insightful meander through some of the enchanting experiences we forget to celebrate. Beautifully read. Just what I needed to slow down with in the middle of winter. Will definitely listen again.
