Set in the autumn of 1849, Quoth the Hawk follows Everard Vane, the last gentleman of the decaying, tilting Gloamwater Hall. Convinced by a newspaper poem that a wretched man sitting alone will eventually be visited by a prophetic raven, Everard spends four arduous years waiting in vain. Instead of a dark messenger of doom, he is visited by a young red-tailed hawk that simply stares fixedly at a meadow vole hole.
As Everard desperately tries to force the bird into a literary portent, his eccentric worldview collides with reality through the arrival of Miss Temperance Kittredge, an itinerant bird illustrator, and the chaotic return of his long-mourned former flame, Eulalie. Blending Gothic satire, laugh-out-loud comedy, and a literal sinking house, the tale explores how letting go of romanticized despair can lead to embracing what is actually happening.
