|summary= WeWhen I saw Helen Macdonald speak at a nature conference, she recounted a conversation with a Samuel Johnson Prize judge. S/he had remarked that Macdonald're expecting s was three books in one: a review memoir of this grief after her father's unexpected death, a biography of T. H. White, and an account of falconry experiments with Mabel the goshawk. Macdonald quipped that the description made her book sound like washing powder, but it's accurate nonetheless, and explains why the book very soonwon the Samuel Johnson Prize (the first memoir to do so) and is shortlisted for the Costa Biography award.
