About this product

Product Information

**WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR****WINNER OF THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION****WINNER OF THE PRIX DU MEILLEUR LIVRE TRANGER**'Dazzling. Deeply affecting, utterly fascinating and blazing with love and intelligence' Financial Times Discover the number one bestselling phenomenon that is a powerful and profound mediation on grief expressed through the trials of training a goshawk. As a child, Helen Macdonald was determined to become a falconer, learning the arcane terminology and reading all the classic books. Years later, when her father died and she was struck deeply by grief, she became obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk. She bought Mabel for e800 on a Scottish quayside and took her home to Cambridge, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals. H is for Hawk is an unflinchingly honest account of Macdonald's struggle with grief during the difficult process of the hawk's taming and her own untaming. This is a book about memory, nature and nation, and how it might be possible to reconcile death with life and love. 'This beautiful book is at once heartfelt and clever in the way it mixes elegy with celebration' Andrew Motion 'It just sings. I couldn't stop reading' Mark Haddon, bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time 'Dazzling. Deeply affecting, utterly fascinating and blazing with love and intelligence' Financial Times

    Much more than just a book about falconry - highly recommended!

    This book is superbly written and can be enjoyed on many levels. As much about human emotions and relationships and a deep love for and understanding of the countryside in all its moods as about the training of a goshawk, this book is insightful, always engaging and lyrical, and a delight. It should be on everyone's 'must read' list.

    Very moving true story as told by the authoress. thank you. pluto346.

    I'd seen a recent interview on television with Helen Macdonald discussing her story, and was so impressed I bought a copy for my stepdaughter, who has worked in falconry. I'm sure she will enjoy the book very much.
