Award-winning memoir offered as Book of the Week

The Campus Bookstore is offering H is for Hawk as its Book of the Week for August 31 to September 7.

Mourning the death of her father, writer Helen MacDonald resolved to train Mabel, a goshawk. Heart-wrenching and humorous, this book is an unflinching account of her effort. It won the 2014 Samuel Johnson Prize for its unique look at the magnetism of an extraordinary beast with a parallel examination of a legendary writer’s eccentric falconry.

Listed at $32, H is for Hawk will sell this week for just $20.40 in the store, located on the lower level of the CAW Student Centre.
