"In real life, goshawks resemble sparrowhawks the way leopards resemble housecats. Bigger, yes. But bulkier, bloodier, deadlier, scarier, and much, much harder to see. Birds of deep woodland, not gardens, they're the birdwatchers' dark grail."
As a child Helen Macdonald was determined to become a falconer. She learned the arcane terminology and read all the classic books, including T. H. White's tortured masterpiece, The Goshawk, which describes White's struggle to train a hawk as a spiritual contest.
When her father dies and she is knocked sideways by grief, she becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk. She buys Mabel for £800 on a Scottish quayside and takes her home to Cambridge. Then she fills the freezer with hawk food and unplugs the phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals.
"To train a hawk you must watch it like a hawk, and so gain the ability to predict what it will do next. Eventually you don't see the hawk's body language at all. You seem to feel what it feels. The hawk's apprehension becomes your own. As the days passed and I put myself in the hawk's wild mind to tame her, my humanity was burning away."
Destined to be a classic of nature writing, H is for Hawk is a record of a spiritual journey – an unflinchingly honest account of Macdonald's struggle with grief during the difficult process of the hawk's taming and her own untaming. At the same time, it's a kaleidoscopic biography of the brilliant and troubled novelist T. H. White, best known for The Once and Future King. It's a book about memory, nature and nation, and how it might be possible to try to reconcile death with life and love.

評分苍鹰是一种中小型猛禽，体长可达60厘米，翼展约1.3米，主要以森林鼠类、野兔、雉类、榛鸡、鸠鸽类和其他小型鸟类为食，视觉敏锐，善于飞翔，是力量的象征。而海伦·麦克唐纳，当她失去父亲的时候，她一度因为陷入了深深的悲痛之中而不能自拔，亟需一种力量来帮助她走出痛苦的旋...
評分苏轼在《江神子•密州出猎》的上阙，一开篇即极尽气势地写道：“老夫聊发少年狂，左牵黄，右擎苍。锦帽貂裘，千骑卷平冈。”一场声势壮大的出猎给我们留下了难以磨灭的深刻印象。词中的“苍”就是苍鹰。由此而知，鹰猎在在宋代已十分常见。追根溯源，我国是世界公...
評分看这本书的时候一度时间让我想起年初看的那本美国作家琼•狄迪恩为了纪念逝世的爱人而写的一本回忆录《奇想之年》，而这本海伦·麦克唐纳的《海伦的苍鹰》，也是因为作者在挚爱的父亲离世以后，为了忘却的纪念，买了一只被叫着梅贝尔的苍鹰，通过训鹰来怀念和度过这段失去亲...
評分翻了28页，看到“番茄酱滴落在我手臂上像一道伤口”，然后实在受不了了。 实在太啰嗦了，看到8.4分的评价，我简直开始怀疑人生。 写父亲去世被拖车的那段，说找不到车很绝望，最后想到是拖车公司给拖走了，打电话去免拖车费。。。写那个随便爱上的人。。还有去餐厅吃不下饭服...
