ENCHANTMENT Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age

With her pleasant British accent, Rebecca Lee narrates this meditation on wonder in our everyday lives. Lee's voice is an apt stand-in for the author's as May grapples with pleasures she has lost and attempts to recapture the joy in them. Much of ENCHANTMENT is a snapshot of a particular place in a particular moment in time--England during strict Covid lockdowns--but many listeners will find May's feelings familiar and relatable. Mixed with philosophical reflections are moments of true magic, as when May gently touches honeybees as they buzz busily in their hive. This audiobook is less a prescription and more an invitation; May suggests "putting your feet on the ground, every now and then, and feeling the tingle of life that the earth offers in return."
