Live vicariously through political advisor-turned-nature writer Chloe Dalton as she recounts her beautiful story of an extended close encounter with a European hare, also analysing their unique qualities and many unfair reputations. COVID lockdowns forced Dalton to retreat from London to her countryside home, where she took in a leveret which had been chased by a dog. Acknowledging her mistakes along the way, she took every precaution to allow it to retain its wildness. Reader, she succeeded, and her time with the hare, whom she did not name, raised important questions and transformed her way of living—towards stillness, simplicity, and coexistence with nature.  I found it inspiring.
