Discover the number one bestselling phenomenon that is a powerful and
profound mediation on grief expressed through the trials of training a
goshawk. As a child, Helen Macdonald was determined to become a
falconer, learning the arcane terminology and reading all the classic
books. Years later, when her father died and she was struck deeply by
grief, she became obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk.
She bought Mabel for GBP800 on a Scottish quayside and took her home to
Cambridge, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to
train this wildest of animals. H is for Hawk is an unflinchingly
honest account of Macdonald's struggle with grief during the difficult
process of the hawk's taming and her own untaming. This is a book about
memory, nature and nation, and how it might be possible to reconcile
death with life and love.
