H is for Hawk
by Helen
Macdonald
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. Projecting
herself “in the hawk’s wild mind to tame her” tested the limits of Macdonald’s
humanity and changed her life.
