Schon als Kind beschließt Helen Macdonald, Falknerin zu werden. Ihr Vater unterstützt sie in dieser ungewöhnlichen Leidenschaft, er lehrt sie Geduld und Selbstvertrauen und bliebt eine wichtige Bezugsperson in ihrem Leben. Als er stirbt, setzt sich ein Gedanke in Helens Kopf fest: Sie muss ihren eigenen Habicht abrichten. Sie ersteht einen der beeindruckenden Vögel, ein Habichtweibchen, das sie auf den Namen Mabel tauft, und begibt sich auf die abenteuerliche Reise, das wilde Tier zu zähmen. (Quelle: buchhandel.de).

Work Description
When Helen Macdonald's father died suddenly on a London street, she was devastated. An experienced falconer, Helen had never before been tempted to train one of the most vicious predators, the goshawk, but in her grief, she saw that the goshawk's fierce and feral temperament mirrored her own. Resolving to purchase and raise the deadly creature as a means to cope with her loss, she adopted Mabel, and turned to the guidance of The Once and Future King author T.H. White's chronicle The Goshawk to begin her challenging endeavor. Projecting herself "in the hawk's wild mind to tame her" tested the limits of Macdonald's humanity and changed her life.
