H is for Hawk

This memoir interleaves the author's training of a goshawk, Mabel, after her father's sudden death, with a reading of T.H. White's book about the same bird. Scenes of walking out, weighing the hawk, and waiting on English fields sit beside grief, memory of a photographer father, and White's own lonely struggle with his hawk. The book treats falconry as practice and as a way of not being among people. It is a first-person narrative of bereavement and bird, not a manual of hawk-keeping and not a biography of White only.

Bound in brown textured paper printed and blocked with a colour picture of a hawk. Plain orange slipcase.(In 2026, signed by the author on a tipped in sheet).
