While living in the deep English countryside during the 2021 lockdown, Dalton—a high-stakes political advisor and speechwriter—stumbles upon an orphaned leveret. What begins as a desperate attempt to save a fragile life from the brink of starvation and shock evolves into a profound, multi-year companionship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the domestic rabbit, the wild hare is a creature of the open fields, often succumbing to the stress of confinement. Dalton’s memoir chronicles the trial-and-error process of rearing the leveret with the constant intention of release. However, the hare chooses a middle path: wandering the woods at night yet returning to Dalton’s home by day. Weaving together personal narrative with a deep dive into the historical, folkloric, and artistic significance of hares, Dalton ruminates on the nature of love—realizing that to truly love a wild thing is to accept the risk of its departure every single day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChloe Dalton\u003c\/strong\u003e is a prominent political advisor and speechwriter based in London.
