RaveThe Chicago TribuneHelen Macdonald's H Is for Hawk is one of a kind, unless there are other grief memoirs/falconry tales/literary analyses out there. But really, it is one of a kind for its voice. British author Macdonald is a poet, her language rich and taut. As she descends into a wild, nearly mad connection with her hawk, her words keep powerful track ... The story begun in grief returns to it, as Macdonald brings her observer's eye and poet's voice to the universal experience of sorrow and loss.
