overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. This queer YA reimagining of The Secret Garden subverts the cishet and white status quo of the original in a tale of family secrets wonderful and horrifying. Mary Lennox didn't think about death until the day it knocked politely on her bedroom door and invited itself in. When a terrible accident leaves her orphaned at fifteen, she is sent to the wilderness of the Georgian Bay to live with an uncle she's never met. At first the impassive, calculating girl believes this new manor will be just like the one she left in Toronto: cold, isolating, and anything but cheerful, where staff is treated as staff and never like family. But as she slowly allows her heart to open like the first blooms of spring, Mary comes to find that this strange place and its strange people—most of whom are Indigenous—may be what she can finally call home. Then one night Mary discovers Olive, her cousin who has been hidden away in an attic room for years due to a "nervous condition." The girls become fast friends, and Mary wonders why this big-hearted girl is being kept out of sight and fed medicine that only makes her feel sicker. When Olive's domineering stepmother returns to the manor, it soon becomes clear that something sinister is going on. With the help of a charming, intoxicatingly vivacious Metis girl named Sophie, Mary begins digging further into family secrets both wonderful and horrifying to figure out how to free Olive. And some of the answers may lie within the walls of a hidden, overgrown and long-forgotten garden the girls stumble upon while wandering the wilds...

À dix-huit ans, Sacha et son meilleur ami Tom quittent Montréal sur le pouce et aboutissent à Dawson City, au…
Yukon, où ils trouvent enfin la communauté de punks, d'anars et de vagabonds dont ils rêvaient. Ils adoptent une chienne-louve, Luna, et s'installent sur la Sixième Avenue, dans une cabane sans électricité ni eau courante. De jobs d'été en hivers chômés, de nuits blanches en road trips, d'amantes en amants, des années joyeuses passent dans un monde immense. Quand Sacha tombe amoureuse d'un autre, Tom se sent trahi : Sacha n'est qu'une pute, une profiteuse qui mérite d'être punie. Il répand son fiel ; le village choisit son camp. Puis la pandémie frappe. En quarantaine dans une cabane isolée, seule avec un coloc dont elle doit repousser les avances pressantes, Sacha compte les jours, tandis que les Dawsonites confinés font son procès
