You’re not alone. One morning, Caitlin Moran lay in bed and realised: she had finally reached Peak Despair. The point where, in books and movies, the heroine decides to move to a remote farmhouse, walk an ancient, 600-mile pathway, or adopt a baby hare. The moment where someone \u003ci\u003egoes on a quest \u003c\/i\u003eto find …\u003ci\u003e hope.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut this - this is \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003ethat kind of book.

And it’s incredibly hard to get access to baby hares in Crouch End.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so, Caitlin decides instead to go on a \u003ci\u003edomestic \u003c\/i\u003equest.

Picking litter, donating blood, rewilding a garden, and the hardest thing of all - learning to fall back in love with the world again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of a year, Caitlin finds that life can be radically transformed when you rebel against the news cycle and algorithms that \u003ci\u003ewant \u003c\/i\u003eto keep us angry, adrenalised, and anxious.
