Booktalk: UK Foreign Policy Adviser Chloe Dalton’s “RAISING HARE”

Host Diana Korte speaks with bestselling author Chloe Dalton who rescued and reared a wild hare in the English countryside during the Covid lockdown

about her memoir, Raising Hare.

Imagine you could hold a baby hare (similar to rabbit, but bigger and wilder) and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and slept in your house for hours on end and gave birth to leverets in your study. For political advisor and speechwriter Chloe Dalton, who spent lockdown deep in the English countryside, far away from her usual busy London life, this became her unexpected reality.

Raising Hare chronicles their journey together, while also taking a deep dive into the lives and nature of hares. It also serves as a reminder that the best things, and most beautiful experiences, might arise when we least expect them.
