H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
3.0
While I loved the idea of this book, and can appreciate that Helen Macdonald is a gifted writer, this book just wasn't for me.
I'm a fan of the grief memoir - Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking is one of my most favorite books. But I found H is for Hawk to be difficult. As others have noted, the book goes back and forth between Macdonald's own story and that of author T.H. White. I felt that this made the book drag a bit. I was much more interested in Macdonald's own story, particularly how she was handling her own grief over the unexpected loss of her father.
