Original title: Hey Hafni
Publisher: Gutkind, 2025
Genre: Novel
Hafni’s gone to Brighton for three months to rediscover her zest for life. Brighton is England’s fourth-happiest city – but then her brother arrives. Her quest for alone time takes her via a muddy riverside path, an antique dealer and his wife, a fluorescent green cooperative, Virginia Woolf’s bed, a forgotten pudding, the Wish Tower, a chiropodist, and Our Billy. All while trying to escape “the third hand”.
Along the way, she writes letters home to an old friend – who is perhaps the one writing the novel.
Hey Hafni expands the universe of Helle’s previous novels they, Bob and Hafni Says.
