"This was an absolutely beautiful book, with a much needed message for all of us. Like everyone, this author was forced to slow down and reconsider things during the pandemic. She went to her converted barn in the countryside close to London. Finding a baby hare and raising it was completely foreign to her nature, but it ended up teaching her so much about herself and the natural world, and how important wildness is to all of us. I love that this has become a bestseller and has won so many awards, maybe there is hope for us yet." - Goodreads reviewer

Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end. This happened to me.

When lockdown led busy professional Chloe to leave the city and returnto the countryside of her childhood, she never expected to find herself custodian of a newly born hare. Yet when she finds the creature, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival.

Raising Hare chronicles their journey together and the challenges of caring for the leveret and preparing for its return to the wild. We witness an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. This improbable bond of trust serves to remind us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them.
