H Is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald

3.0

---

This was a well-written, interesting memoir, but it never quite hit home with me. Much of the book is about TH White who wrote "The Once and Future King" and I haven't read it and don't know much about White. In terms of memoirs of grieving, I liked Joan Didion's Year of Magical Thinking a lot more. It turns out that I don't care much about hawks either. I don't think it's a requirement to like White or hawks, but I'm sure it helps.
