    I didn't know so much interesting things about the birds of prey like a passionate Helen Macdonald is able to tell in her memoirs, and the story is compelling, I have always being fascinated by the falcons and I think I understand that she desired to train them, as a great project. The loss of her father and the grief derived changed her plans a little
  • Very good review, I loved it

    Very nice story, sometimes the things we think are simple, are behind much pain and complications. Helen definitely was a person with great determination and strength, I admire greatly for having taken their passions beyond. Very interesting analysis

    Macdonald reveals how raising Mabel the goshawk helped her heal after her father’s sudden death. I was inspired by it and as a lover of birds of prey it was such a great read. Helen is a remarkable woman. Lovely story to read.
  • Great summary and Analysis
