Wonderful book! It's hard to explain how Helen MacDonald has woven falconry, grief, depression, TH White and a little Merlin-like magic altogether with training a goshawk, but she does and she does it beautifully. She makes it all work! Loved this book!

Helen MacDonald is an unusual person – historian, naturalist, philosopher, scholar – and falconer! Her book is an odd mixture of genres that melds perfectly. I loved her journey with Mabel, her goshawk, and the references to T.H. White’s The Once and Future King. One of my favorite books of 2015. Highly recommended!
— Francesca from Books Inc. in Laurel Village
“This is a superbly crafted memoir, incredibly original in its depth and visceral impact. The author swings back and forth between her own desire to train a goshawk and her research of that same need documented by T.H. White. Self-deprecating humor vies with wonder and grief as Macdonald manages to make the reader see, hear, and feel every aspect of this incredible journey. A marvelous read.”
