ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

H is for Hawk, by Helen Macdonald, is a non-fiction narrative that follows the author's spiritual journey. Seeking solace after her father's death, Macdonald decides to train a goshawk named Mabel.

Interwoven with Macdonald’s personal experiences is the story of T.H. White and his attempt to train a goshawk named Gos.

As Macdonald trains Mabel, she reflects on the complexities of grief, healing, and the connection between humans and the natural world. The book explores themes of memory, nature, and the challenge of reconciling death with life and love.
