Raising Hare

Retreating to the countryside during lockdown, political writer Chloe Dalton discovers a tiny newborn leveret alone, and in danger, and takes it home. ‘Raising Hare’ is the beautiful story of their relationship- from the challenges of raising the animal to preparing for its return to the wild. The bond of trust between human and creature gives hope, allowing us to find the beauty of nature all around us despite global troubled times, as The Financial Times remarks, ‘It transports you to a world of long-lost innocence and makes you want to hug the world.” Award winning and much acclaimed, this is a beautiful memoir, balancing sentiment and knowledge, that will stay with you long after the final page has turned.
