Hart & Ha’penny by Kate Garrett

In the early years of the 17th century, for the first time ever a Scottish king acceded the English throne. His name was James.

In the early decades of the 21st century, two friends, Bryony and Ash, are just trying to figure things out together in the West Midlands of England.

Asking questions about legacy and sovereignty along the way, Hart & Ha’penny is part historical fiction, part contemporary tale – a time-hopping poetry novella about love and god(s), magic and survival, and finding somewhere to belong.
