nheredia 's review for:

H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald

3.5

challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

---

I struggled somewhat to get through this book. It is a mix of a memoir about grief after the loss of a father, a book on falconry and personal experiences with falconry, as well as reflection on another author’s writings about falconry (the least interesting bit and where I would get bogged down). I wish she had stuck to a memoir where it was focused on how falconry got her through grief- but alas.
