Description

When devastating grief strikes, a woman embarks on an extraordinary journey to train a goshawk, seeking solace and understanding in the wildness of nature. This deeply personal narrative intertwines the challenging process of taming a fierce bird with the author's own struggle to navigate loss and memory. As she delves into the life and work of T. H. White, the author of "The Goshawk," she uncovers profound connections between human and animal, life and death, and the wildness within ourselves. It is a powerful exploration of grief, nature writing, and the search for healing.
