This is an interesting book. It describes the author's journey through grief following the death of her father. She works with a gosshawk and immerseses herself in this process. She compares her experiences with those of others using contrasting strategies to both train a gosshawk and deal with emotional difficulties. Whilst not a lighthearted text it is compelling reading

I know the author wrote this book after the death of her father, but I thought it far too rambling and philosophical. I found myself just longing for her to get back to her time with her hawk which was very interesting. Some photos would have been a nice touch.

'Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention'. This book is in the latter category. There is much to savour here.
