NOVEMBER Book Club - Monthly Get Together

Our book for NOVEMBER is:

Raising Hare:
A Memoir
By Chloe Dalton

Our book for November has been chosen by Rosie.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2025

When lockdown led busy professional Chloe to leave the city and return to the countryside of her childhood, she never expected to find herself custodian of a newly born hare. Yet when she finds the creature, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival.

Raising Hare chronicles their journey together and the challenges of caring for the leveret and preparing for its return to the wild. We witness an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. This improbable bond of trust serves to remind us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them.

A big welcome to all!

The Phoenix Monthly Book Club is for everyone to enjoy - seasoned 'book clubbers' and those new to the idea - all will be made very welcome.

Come and join our relaxed, friendly group!

Our aim is to choose some really good reads and have lively times together discussing the chosen book of the month in a respectful manner.

The reading list will be compiled from members' suggestions and will reflect our differing tastes. It will be great to challenge ourselves with genres or writing styles we may not usually think to go for - we won't all like every book, but it will be fun to discover!

You'll be responsible for sourcing your own copy of the monthly book - borrow from the library, buy second hand, download or Kindle etc - whatever works best for you.
