Soon to be a Major Motion Picture starring Claire Foy and Brendan Gleeson

The hawk was everything I wanted to be: solitary, self-possessed, free from grief, and numb to the hurts of human life.

An instant international bestseller and prize-winning sensation, Helen Macdonald's story of adopting and raising a goshawk has soared into the hearts of millions of readers. Fierce and feral, her goshawk Mabel's temperament mirrors Helen's own state of grief after her father's death, and together raptor and human discover the pain and beauty of being alive.

H Is for Hawk is a genre-defying masterpiece on grief, memory, taming and untaming, and how it might be possible to reconcile death with life and love.
