Hare will steal your heart

 

☆☆☆☆☆ Raising Hare is a rich, life affirming story full of hope and joy. Touching, beautifully written, a sweet triumph. 

Chloe finds a newborn leveret on her evening walk and cannot bring herself to leave it exposed to the elements and predators. She goes against conventional wisdom and brings it home without a clue what to do for it. Thus begins a beautiful, though unlikely, relationship that will change Chloe’s life. 

I relished this book more than I can say. Its charm lies in the unknown and the development of trust between woman and hare. I adore hares and feel very lucky when I spot one in the field, jumping high, boxing another or streaking from one corner to the other at high speed. They are magical creatures I feel an affinity with. A few months ago there was a mother hare with a leveret within easy view of our window. I was mesmerised watching them. Chloe’s story perfectly captures the stillness of their nature. 

Anyone who loves nature, the glorious diversity of creatures that inhabit it, or just the countryside will find this book a delight. Thank you, Chloe, for sharing your story as it is tales like this that strengthen the bond with the natural world for those who may find that feeling dormant.
