Raising Hare: A Memoir

Raising Hare: A Memoir by Chloe Dalton

A woman moves out to the British countryside during the pandemic. There she observes a young injured hare. She helps nurse the hare back to health and befriends it. Later she discovers that the hare is a female when it has babies. The hare at first stays in the house, but gradually spreads further outside. It gives birth first outside. However, it later gives birth inside the house. The hare is never really a pet, but still has an affinity towards the house. The author gains greater respect for nature and the challenges we place on hares with urban development. After reading, I finally have a better understanding of the difference between hares and rabbits.
