Description

 							
  
  Hawks
don’t grieve. Hawks don’t hurt. Hawks hunt. Hawks kill. So it was that one damp early morning on a
Scottish quayside a man opened a cardboard box in front of me and brought out a flapping, terrifying bird with curved
black talons and lambent silver eyes. I called her Mabel, and brought her back to Cambridge to start our new life. 
  
  When Helen Macdonald’s father died suddenly on a London street, she was devastated. An experienced
falconer—Helen had been captivated by hawks since childhood—she’d never before been tempted to
train one of the most vicious predators, the goshawk. But in her grief, she saw that the goshawk’s fierce and
feral temperament mirrored her own. Resolving to purchase and raise the deadly creature as a means to cope with her
loss, she adopted Mabel, and turned to the guidance of The Once and Future King author T.H. White's chronicle The
Goshawk to begin her challenging endeavor. Projecting herself “in the hawk's wild mind to tame her” tested
the limits of Macdonald’s humanity and changed her life.
  
   Heart-wrenching and humorous, this book
is an unflinching account of bereavement and a unique look at the magnetism of an extraordinary beast, with a parallel
examination of a legendary writer’s eccentric falconry. Obsession, madness, memory, myth, and history combine to
achieve a distinctive blend of nature writing and memoir from an outstanding literary innovator.
  
  
 
"H is for Hawk is a work of great spirit and wonder, illuminated equally by terror and desire. Each beautiful sentence
is capable of taking a reader’s breath. The book is built of feather and bone, intelligence and blood, and a
vulnerability so profound as to conjure that vulnerability’s shadow, which is the great power of honesty. It is
not just a definitive work on falconry; it is a definitive work on humanity, and all that can and cannot be possessed."

  —Rick Bass
  
  "A lovely touching book about a young woman grieving over the death of her
father becoming rejuvenated by training one of the roughest, most difficult creatures in the heavens, the goshawk." 
  —Jim Harrison
  
  "In addition to being an excellent memoir of loss and grief, H is for Hawk is a
wonderful exploration of how birds of prey can function as metaphor to produce art and a roadmap for human lives. Read
it and enrich your life." 
  —Dan O’Brien
  
  "Rich with the poetry of ideation, the
narrative flows through the author’s deeply textured story of personal loss like a mountain wind, swirling
seamlessly through fields of literature, biology, natural history, and the art of hunting with hawks. Readers might do
well to absorb this book a bite at a time—but be prepared for a full meal." 
  —Lynn Schooler
 

  "A beautiful book on so many levels. Macdonald fearlessly probes each facet of grief and traverses its
wilderness to reach redemption. But most beautiful of all is the complex, layered bond that builds between her and
Mabel, her hawk. Who would have guessed that human and bird could share so much?" 
  —Jan DeBlieu
  
  "My favorite book, reincarnated: If you ever wondered what would happen if Sam from My Side of the Mountain grew up,
loved, ached, and discovered himself in the heart of an ugly creature, you’ll find the answer in H is for Hawk.
‘The wild can be human work,’ Hawk tells us, which is one reason you'll have to buy a
copy—I’m never lending mine." 
  —Christopher McDougall
  
  "In this elegant
synthesis of memoir and literary sleuthing . . . Macdonald describes in beautiful, thoughtful prose how she comes to
terms with death in new and startling ways." 
  —Publishers Weekly
  
  "A dazzling piece of work:
deeply affecting, utterly fascinating and blazing with love . . . a deeply human work shot through, like cloth of gold,
with intelligence and compassion—an exemplar of the mysterious alchemy by which suffering can be transmuted into
beauty. I will be surprised if a better book than H is for Hawk is published this year." 
  —Melissa
Harrison, Financial Times
  
  "More than any other writer I know, including her beloved [T.H.] White,
Macdonald is able to summon the mental world of a bird of prey . . . she extends the boundaries of nature writing. As a
naturalist she has somehow acquired her bird's laser-like visual acuity. As a writer she combines a lexicographer's
pleasure in words as carefully curated objects with an inventive passion for new words or for ways of releasing fresh
effects from the old stock. . . . Macdonald looks set to revive the genre." 
  —Mark Cocker, Guardian
 

  "A talon-sharp memoir that will thrill and chill you to the bone . . . Macdonald has just the right blend of the
scientist and the poet, of observing on the one hand and feeling on the other." 
  —Craig Brown, Daily
Mail
  
  "What [Macdonald] has achieved is a very rare thing in literature—a completely realistic
account of a human relationship with animal consciousness. . . . Her training of Mabel has the suspense and tension of
the here and now. You are gripped by the slightest movement, by the turn of every feather. It is a soaring performance
and Mabel is the star." 
  —John Carey, Sunday Times
  
  "A well-wrought book, one part memoir,
one part gorgeous evocation of the natural world and one part literary meditation . . . lit with flashes of grace, a
grace that sweeps down to the reader to hold her wrist tight with beautiful, terrible claws. The discovery of the
season." 
  —Erica Wagner, Economist
  
  "The magnificent H is for Hawk [has] grabbed me by its
talons . . . [it’s] nature writing, but not as you know it. Astounding." 
  —Caroline Sanderson, The
Bookseller
  
  "This beautiful book is at once heartfelt and clever in the way it mixes elegy with
celebration: elegy for a father lost, celebration of a hawk found - and in the finding also a celebration of
countryside, forbears of one kind and another, life-in-death. At a time of very distinguished writing about the
relationship between human kind and the environment, it is immediately pre-eminent." 
  —Andrew Motion 
  
  "A deep, dark work of terrible beauty that will open fissures in the stoniest heart. . . . Macdonald is a
survivor . . . she has produced one of the most eloquent accounts of bereavement you could hope to read . . . A grief
memoir with wings." —The Bookseller
  
  "A book made from the heart that goes to the heart . . . It
combines old and new nature and human nature with great originality. No one who has looked up to see a bird of prey
cross the sky could read it and not have their life shifted." 
  —Tim Dee, author of The Running Sky
