Because he lives in Russia, our friend Jacob Green is unable to attend BookMen meetings in person, but he has attended one Zoom session (so far) even though it happened in the wee hours for him. But as soon as I announced we'd be reading Connor Habib's Hawk Mountain, which we'll discuss on April 8, he ordered the book and posted a review on his own blog.
I'm only going to quote one paragraph here because the review contains a major spoiler. But once you've finished the novel, I encourage you to check out the rest of Jacob's thoughts.
"I have every reason to believe that Hawk Mountain is deeply personal for Conner Habib, its author. For example, there is a passage where Jack shares his sense of a family in the army. It has a very special meaning to me because my father is a military officer. 'To my father, who left me at the age of 3'—these exact words I used on the dedication page of my coming-out novel, Truth with Ornaments".
Thanks, Jacob!
