H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald

2.0

I was seriously disappointed by this book. I listened to the audio, which is read by the author. This book rambles on and just doesn’t get anywhere. Yes it was interesting to hear of her her goshawk, but she kept saying how she had all this experience with falconry yet didn’t seem to really know what she was doing. She tried making connections between this and the shocking death of her father, but I don’t see it. I have no idea how long ago this happened, how old she was when her father died, how old he was, or really any info on who she was - she kept talking about being a student, but also her job? I had the most difficult time getting through this book. 2 stars is probably being generous.
