Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and bounded around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, more than two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and slept in your house for hours on end. For political advisor and speechwriter Chloe Dalton, who spent lockdown deep in the English countryside, far away from her usual busy London life, this became her unexpected reality.
Raising Hare chronicles their journey together while also taking a deep dive into the lives and nature of hares, and the way they have been viewed historically in art, literature and folklore. A moving and fascinating meditation on freedom, trust, loss and our relationship with the natural world, explored through the story of one woman's unlikely friendship with a wild hare. The book became an instant New York Times bestseller. A new afterword by the author looks at what has transpired for Chloe and the hare since the initial writing of the book.
