ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“H is for Hawk” by Helen Macdonald is a memoir that explores themes of grief, healing, and the human connection to nature. Following the sudden death of her father, Helen turns to falconry as a way to cope with her overwhelming emotions. She trains a goshawk named Mabel, a powerful and wild bird, in an effort to find control over her life. As Helen navigates the challenges of taming the bird, she also confronts her own grief, reflecting on loss, love, and the complex relationship between humans and the natural world.
