The Goshawk by T.H. White

challenging reflective slow-paced

2.5

I liked a lot about the writing style, but I found the author too off-putting to want to spend 200 pages inside his head. It was difficult for me to get past the oblique references to deeply-held misogyny, the seeming ambivalence toward Hitler and Mussolini, and the complete idiocy of acquiring an intelligent, wild animal without knowing how the heck to care for it. If those things were excised, I would have really enjoyed the book, but unfortunately I couldn't stomach it very well.
