When Helen, a well-known university professor, unexpectedly loses her father Alistair, her world comes crashing down. To come to terms with his death, she returns to her favourite hobby, falconry, and takes in the young, wild goshawk ‘Mabel’. Training this spirited bird of prey proves to be a major challenge for Helen. Yet this gives rise to a special bond that not only helps her overcome her grief, but also allows her to rediscover the beauty of life.
Based on the international bestseller and the award-winning memoir by Helen Macdonald, *H is for Hawk* tells a true story about the connection between humans and nature – and how it is possible to overcome loss.
