Nicely written and narrated (by the author), with some interesting insights and useful tips. The writing grated on me at times as it was a little cheesy and "cringe". As a white, educated middle class woman, I know I am the target audience for this book, but I was often uneasily aware that the author was writing from a position of privilege. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't read Wintering and How To Winter first, as they were both superior books by far.

An ode to the sparkling, prinkling, and unfurling of winter. Lovely.

I love Winter but still found this a really lovely, useful and informative book. listened to it on audiobook and the author's voice was soothing.
