Delve into Katherine May's 'Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times', a Sunday Times bestseller and BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. This masterful exploration of life's fallow periods offers a profound insight into the art of self-care and rejuvenation during our darkest moments.
With the precision of a detective and the eloquence of a storyteller, May unravels the mystery of personal winters - those seasons when we must withdraw to mend our weary souls. Her narrative, as comforting as a well-worn book, guides readers through the ebb and flow of existence, revealing the hidden strength found in periods of retreat.
May's prose, lauded by literary luminaries such as Raynor Winn and Caitlin Moran, illuminates the path from the depths of winter to the promise of spring. This isn't merely a book; it's a companion for those navigating life's most challenging chapters, offering wisdom as timeless as the seasons themselves.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
