this to everyone' - MATT HAIG 'Quietly profound beautifully written Hare is now lodged in
my heart' - TRACY CHEVALIER __ 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 return to 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.
