NATURE WRITING

H is for Hawk

by Helen Macdonald · 2014

★★★★½ 4.5/5 · ALLO'S PICK
After her father's death, Macdonald acquires a goshawk and trains it. A grief memoir braided with T.H. White and falconry history — strange, brilliant, unforgettable.
Allo's take
The best nature-as-grief book I've read. Macdonald finds in the hawk something she can't find anywhere else, and the reader feels the relief too.
