About this title

Synopsis

Under the Covered Bridge is a quiet, introspective coming-of-age novel told through the lens of Kaveh Hartwell, a queer teenager growing up in 1990s rural Quebec. In the wake of loss, Kaveh writes to the boy who changed everything, retracing the memories, both painful and tender, that shaped his journey.

Through barnyard chores, silent classrooms, and whispered conversations, Kaveh begins to unearth a version of himself he never knew existed.

Told with tenderness and emotional honesty, this debut novel explores queer resilience, friendship, and the complicated beauty of becoming who you are.
