I like your reflections on this book Christi - it too came to me at a particularly hectic and stressful time and like I mentioned to you previously, it was like a balm to pick this book up at the end of each day. One of the things I loved about it was that Chloe Dalton was admittedly not a nature/outdoors/animal type of person, and yet the personal impact and growth that connecting with a living creature has had on her life is undeniable. So many lessons to be learnt. It's a brilliant book.
So beautifully stated, Lucinda! And I agree - the way Dalton took whatever actions she could to support the hare, and the shifts in her thoughts and feelings about nature as the story progressed, was just lovely to read. I don't often reread books in their entirety, but I feel like this is one I could easily return to multiple times over. Thank you for your comment!
