During lockdown, busy professional Chloe Dalton returns to the English countryside and discovers a newborn hare, or leveret, that's been endangered and alone. Compelled to give it a chance, she manages to rear the wild creature, against all odds. What begins as a temporary act of rescue turns into an extraordinary two-year friendship, as the hare becomes her constant companion—leaving to run in the fields at night but often returning to sleep in her house by day. The book chronicles their unique journey while exploring the history, folklore, and nature of hares, serving as a profound meditation on freedom, trust, loss, and our relationship with the natural world.
