The instant New York Times bestseller and multiaward-winning sensation, Helen Macdonald's story of adopting and raising one of nature's most vicious predators has soared into the hearts of millions of readers worldwide.
Fierce and feral, her goshawk Mabel's temperament mirrors Helen's own state of grief after her father's death, and together raptor and human "discover the pain and beauty of being alive" (People).
H Is for Hawk is a genre-defying debut from one of our most unique and transcendent voices.
