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.

I nearly didn't continue after the first 1-2 hours as it felt like a very personal and pessimistic memoir, I couldn't relate to much and it felt depressing or frustrating to listen to.
I loved the sections where research and other writers were referenced. I'm glad I continued to the end and May gives some lovely examples but overall I had hoped for something much more practical and positive. I felt this lacked substance.
May mentions in the acknowledgements how hard she found this to write and thanks someone for advising a big change from the book she first intended. She speaks of lots of starts and stops and drafts. I can't help but feel sad that this comes through in the final work. I wonder what the book she intended could have been like, this one felt somehow compromised.
