emilyandthewhippet's review against another edition
4.0
Perhaps I'd built this book up too much in my head. After all, it's on a subject I find so interesting and I've had it on my shelf a good four years before it was read. It was slow and I found myself disappointed that the book neatly finished, only to start yet ANOTHER chapter. I wouldn't read it again.

It felt so genuine and full of raw emotion throughout. Helen’s writing about her experiences of raising/ training a Goshawk whilst going through grief and depression was so refreshing to read, because there wasn’t any big underlying philosophical meaning. It was just a honest account of a woman’s difficult period of her life and how she coped.
I want to read more books like this, I loved visualising myself out and about with Helen and Mabel (the goshawk) just living and being.
