December 30th Meeting

• Facilitatress - Mae

We will be reading H is for Hawk, by Helen Macdonald. The Contra Costa Library catalog says this:

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.

There are lots of copies in the library, as well as books on CD, and of course is available on Amazon in book form as well as Kindle.

Merry Christmas, and we'll see each other just prior to New Year's Eve!
