Writes Anna Bonet of Chloe Dalton's
Raising Hare: A Memoir. . . .
Not long after Chloe Dalton left London during the pandemic, moving back to the countryside of the North East where she grew up, Dalton was out on a walk when she came across a baby hare. Newly born and the size of her palm, the leveret had been abandoned with clearly little chance of survival. Dalton, a political adviser, knew nothing of animals – and yet she felt compelled to care for it, rearing the hare herself before re-releasing it into the wild. Already tipped by
The Bookseller as “a future classic of nature writing,”
Raising Hare is one of the most gorgeous tales of human-animal connection out there.
