Nov 02, 2009 – Novelist and nature reference author O\x92Connor (Falcon\x92s Return) crafts a lyrical tribute to the spiritual connection between humans and birds in this memoir of the excruciating, transformative process of training a peregrine falcon: “Falconry is a religion, a way of thinking, a means of experiencing life.” Indeed, readers will find almost as much spiritual content as natural. Despite O\x92Connor\x92s icy-clear voice, her descriptions of training a young male falcon are fascinating for bird lovers and civilians alike: “when the falcon connects a high-speed dive” the duck remains a piece of the sky and only its body careens to earth.” Surprisingly, periodic flashbacks to a troubled childhood-an abusive stepfather, an absentee mother-bolster her story rather than distract, turning a falcon\x92s “serious and unmerciful” eye back on her own life, and discovering inexplicable wells of generosity and forgiveness for the family who wronged her. O\x92Connor packs a lot of intelligence, poise and feeling into a few pages, making this a consistently rewarding read.
