H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald.

 


An autobiography set in Cambridge also taking about TH White - it sounded amazing!  The nature and the self seem to be a new genre for nature writing and I look forward to reading more in this genre.

I loved the descriptions of her grief and the hawk. She has beautiful observant descriptive prose.
 Some of TH White writing felt like an add on - it look away from the beautiful writing about Mabel (the hawk).
