Sinopsis

A 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience chronicled with humor and passion, this memoir details the life-altering 1995 summer during which a nature-lover becomes a hunter. One of those rare quantities, a woman falconer, Chichester discovered that her outlook on the world, nature, and herself changed radically during her pursuit of the ancient art in a foreign country. Training captive-bred, hybrid falcons, riding horseback to the flight of a falcon in pursuit of a crow, belting across the fells and pastures of the United Kingdom, the author deals with fears, preconceptions, and a very steep learning curve, after which she is changed forever.
