It is during the pandemic, and Chloe Dalton and has decided to spend that time at her country home in the English countryside. While out for a walk, she comes upon an abandoned baby hare. After much deliberation, she decides to take the infant home and try to nurse it back to health. And so begins Dalton’s life with a hare-a time that will change her from a workaholic to a woman concerned with the animal kingdom and their environments.

Chloe Dalton’s debut work is probably a terrific read if you are an avid animal lover. However, I identify mostly with domesticated animals, and Raising Hare gave me more details about hares, their behavior, history, anatomy and enemies, than I cared to know about.
