kscearcelevie 's review for:

H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
4.0

My book club, which has trouble agreeing on just about anything, had near-unanimous reactions to this book: it is not something we would have chosen on our own, but we are all glad to have read it. It interweaves tales of the author grieving for her father while training a hawk and reflecting on the life of writer T.H. White. The result is a poetic reflection on mortality, nature, and the bit of wild hunter inside all of us.
