When Chloe Dalton discovers an orphaned leveret on her Suffolk farm, she faces an impossible decision: leave it to perish or attempt the near-impossible task of hand-rearing a wild hare. What follows is an extraordinary journey of interspecies connection as she dedicates herself to raising the fragile creature she names Hare.

This tender memoir charts the daily challenges and unexpected joys of nurturing one of Britain's most elusive animals. Dalton weaves together natural history, farming life, and deeply personal reflections on love, loss, and our relationship with the wild. Her prose captures both the wonder of watching a leveret grow and the bittersweet reality of caring for an animal that must ultimately return to its natural world.

A celebration of the British countryside and its wildlife, this is essential reading for anyone captivated by the beauty and fragility of our native species.
