A review by mawalker1962
H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald

3.0

I first tried to read this book when it came out. It was getting lots of critical acclaim, and I love a good memoir. However, I didn’t finish it then. It just didn’t grab me. Lately I’ve gotten more interested in hawks and I decided to read it again. She writes beautifully and the memoir portions were compelling, but she spends about half the book exploring the life and the writing of T.H. White, and I just couldn’t relate much to those sections.
