A unique premise, with just lovely writing and fantastic experiences. Author Chloe Dalton rescues a young injured hare who eventually takes up residence in her home, though remaining somewhat wild and free. This memoir tells of her interactions with this and other hares around her idyllic home during and after the COVID pandemic. Her stories and descriptions are wonderful and endearing. Might need to be in the right mood to read this one, but it is one I would recommend to the right reader. Loved it.
