It's part memoir, part about hawks and part a biography of T.H. White. The writing is beautifu, and I liked how it dealt with grief. On the other hand, Hawking seems incredibly cruel to the animals and T.H. White sounds like a horrible person!

I thought this book would be about hawks, and it was. But I did not realize it was a grief memoir. Very poignant, but it took me longer to read because it was maybe not the right time for me to read it.
