H Is for Hawk
by Helen MacDonald
After the sudden death of her father, naturalist Helen Macdonald becomes obsessed with an unconventional path to healing: training a goshawk, one of nature’s wildest predators. She brings home Mabel, a hawk she purchased on a Scottish quayside, and retreats from the world to begin the grueling, ancient process of taming her. H is for Hawk is a raw account of Macdonald’s journey through grief as she seeks to reconcile death with life. Intertwined with her own story is a biography of novelist T.H. White, who famously struggled with his own hawk years prior. Part memoir and part nature study, it explores how the process of taming an animal can lead to the "untaming" of the human spirit.
