H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
5.0

Whilst I had to read this book for class, I think it’s one of the most wonderful non-fiction books I’ve ever read. It reads so wonderfully and fluid and you find yourself entirely captivated in a world you never thought you would be.

There is a few key stand out points to me, but the passage about our obsession with “Old England” really spoke to me - our obsession with the past which never actually existed. It’s interesting.

This book deals with grief in such a wonderful way and I’m so glad they wrote this book.
