heatherer 's review for:
H is for Hawk
by Helen Macdonald
I can’t do it. Made it 77 pages in and I just don’t like this book.
Misc. thoughts:
- it feels very “literary” like one of those books your English teacher would hand you and you know you’re supposed to think it’s brilliant and interesting and says something profound about human nature but you just can’t ever get into it
- I know I quit early but falconry in as much as I understood in 77 pages feels wrong (and bougie). I just don’t “get” keeping healthy birds of prey for hunting with.
- I know grief takes a lot of forms but I find it strange that the loss of a parent would lead one to conclude they have no purpose in life until getting a goshawk.
