General Nonfiction
H is for Hawk by Helen MacdonaldNamed one of the best books of 2015 by: Amazon “Had there been an award for the best new book that defies every genre, I imagine it would have won that too. . . . Coherent, complete, and riveting, perhaps the finest nonfiction I read in the past year.” – Kathryn Schulz, New Yorker “Captivating and beautifully written, it’s a meditation on the bond between beasts and humans and the pain and beauty of being alive.” – People “To categorize this work as merely memoir, nature writing or spiritual writing would understate [Macdonald’s] achievement . . . her prose glows and burns.” – Karin Altenberg, Wall Street Journal |
