Dalla quarta di copertina:

The South Dakota winter gives a man time to think. One subzero morning, as Dan O'Brien approaches his fiftieth year, the autumnal equinox of his life, he takes stock. Feeling a waning sense of purpose, he decides to devote himself entirely, for the first time in his life, to his greatest loves - falconry, his bird dogs, and the prairie he calls home.That summer he obtains a remarkable falcon chick who immediately distinguishes herself with her ferocity. He names the bird Harley and trains her in the ways of falconry. Harley's powers of flight are awe-inspiring, her hunting success astounding. Like a lover, she captivates him. O'Brien hunts with her obsessively, reveling in her prowess and beauty. What he learns from her and from what happens one wind-driven day lead him to see fully things he had only just begun to glimpse.Set in the high plains of South Dakota, Equinox is a lyrical evocation of the grasslands; it is also a story of a life lived closely to the natural cycles of the earth, and of a midlife revelation of the importance of staying connected to all things held dear. (5 3/4 X 8 1/2, 240 pages, illustrations)
