H is for Hawk

Helen MacDonald shares her personal journey of grief after losing her father. She shows us that everyone's grieving process is unique and there's no right or wrong way to do it. It's okay to find solace in unusual places, like she did with her hawk, Mabel.

In 'H is for Hawk', MacDonald finds healing in the wild. She shows us how nature can be a powerful force in helping us cope with loss and pain. So, next time you're feeling down, why not take a walk in the park or spend some time with your pet?

MacDonald spends a lot of time alone with her hawk, Mabel. This solitude gives her the space she needs to process her grief and find herself again. It's a reminder that sometimes, we need to step back from the world and spend some time alone to truly heal.

MacDonald's relationship with Mabel is not just about companionship. It's also about control, power, and understanding. 'H is for Hawk' explores the complex and often challenging relationship between humans and animals, encouraging us to see our furry friends in a new light.

Throughout the book, MacDonald finds beauty in the most ordinary things - a bird's flight, a quiet forest, a simple meal. She reminds us to appreciate the little things in life, because they can bring us the most joy.
