I just finished reading "H is for Hawk" a few weeks ago, having bought it at Munro's book store in Victoria back in 2015. Highly recommended on various levels, particularly though for anyone grieving the loss of a parent. One of my English cousins is mentioned in the acknowledgements and is also the "Gordon" referenced in one of the book's many fascinating anecdotes about the world of birds of prey. Through sheer coincidence I was in his living room in April 2015 when Helen telephoned to inform him that she had just sold the movie rights to a British actress. Heading for my annual West Coast swing later this week, including a recording session on June 23 for a song I have co-written about the Halifax explosion, which marks its 100th anniversary on December 6th. We're hoping to come up with a worthy piece of Canadiana. Regards, Alanalandmillenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09444061474903088636noreply@blogger.com
