Not a handbook on how to train a hawk, let alone a goshawk but a beautifully written account of the author's coming to terms with the loss of her father through the process of understanding and gaining the trust of a wild predator. The stages of the bird's development mirror the stages of her grieving until the moment when it is introduced to its adult home and she finds she can now face her own future.
