H Is for Hawk
by Helen Macdonald
DID NOT FINISH: 33%
I wasn’t a fan of this. Although maybe it was headed in this direction, I kept wanting there to be a more nuanced discussion about falconry than there was. Sure, there was an acknowledgment about the elitism of falconry but nothing more than a brief mention as she continues to try to break (sorry, train) this goshawk. The actual act of owning and training a bird felt in conflict with the admiration she claims to have (which she may have been getting to but I couldn’t bring myself to continue).
