Join the Book Group @ The Bookmark at noon Tuesday, May 21 for a remarkable tale hailed by The New York Times Book review: with “a birder’s eye for detail, [Chris] White takes us on [Adrian Mandrick’s] painful, near death descent… [her] life-affirming conclusion reminds us that endangered species aren’t the only ones that need to change and adapt in order to survive.”

“H Is for Hawk” meets “Grief Is the Thing with Feathers” in this evocative debut novel about a pill-popping anesthesiologist and avid birder who embarks on a quest to find one of the world’s rarest species, allowing nothing to get in his way—until he’s forced to confront his obsessions and what they’ve cost him.
