Weyward was the perfect cozy, witchy, historical fiction novel that I'm always looking for. Hart follows three women bound together by blood, across three different time periods, as they all figure out how to live the way they want to. This is a heartwarming story about family, perseverance, and the power of community, whether that be found in-person or across generations, through writing and storytelling. Hart also writes beautifully of healing from trauma, and of the natural world—it made me yearn for spring, when you can watch the world bloom around you. This novel is a strong yet tender story of female power. Hart writes in the vein of Alice Hoffman, but is more mature in theme and writing, in my opinion. This story is one that will imbue your daily life with magic.
