Sobre este artículo
H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald (Jonathan Cape, 1st edition 2014).
From the dustwrapper blurb: Destined to be a classic of nature writing, "H is for Hawk" is a record of a spiritual journey – an unflinchingly honest account of Macdonald's struggle with grief during the difficult process of the hawk's taming and her own untaming.
Hardback in dustwrapper. pp [10], 300, [2]. Size: 8.75 x 5.75 inches approx. (222mm x 144mm).
Dustwrapper rubbed and worn to extremities; a little rolled/creased to top edge; some light scoring and indentations to front panel; a touch dusty. Front board showing multiple 'blunt dart point' indentations; no inscriptions; pages clean.
Overall, showing some light wear otherwise a nice, clean copy – attractive.

Sinopsis
An award-winning best-seller from the UK recounts how the author, an experienced falconer grieving the sudden death of her father, endeavored to train for the first time a dangerous goshawk predator as part of her personal recovery. "As a child Helen Macdonald was determined to become a falconer. She learned the arcane terminology and read all the classic books, including T.H. White's tortured masterpiece, The Goshawk, which describes White's struggle to train a hawk as a spiritual contest. When her father dies and she is knocked sideways by grief, she becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk. She buys Mabel ... on a Scottish quayside and takes her home to Cambridge. Then she fills the freezer with hawk food and unplugs the phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals.
