H IS FOR HAWK

Destined to be a classic of nature writing, H is for Hawk is a record of a spiritual journey - an unflinchingly honest account of Ma cdonald's struggle with grief during the difficult process of the hawk's taming and her own untaming. At the same time, it's a kalei doscopic biography of the brilliant and troubled novelist T. H. White, best known for The Once and Future King. It's a book about me mory, nature and nation, and how it might be possible to try to reconcile death with life and love.
