Chloe Dalton: Raising Hare

Suffering from burnout, political adviser Chloe Dalton retreated from the big city to the English countryside. There she found a seemingly abandoned leveret, or baby hare, and took it home. Longlisted for 2025’s Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction, Raising Hare is the heartwarming story of how this tiny creature changed Dalton’s life, and how care can transcend the boundaries between humans and animals. Dalton joins us to discuss her magical encounter and our Festival theme of Repair. Chaired by Alex Clark.
