Set in 1912, The Canoe follows the story of Bernie Kingston, the teenage son of an undertaker who helps his father build coffins, and Katherine Chambers, a middle-aged English woman who has left home for the first time in hopes of escaping the grief over her dead husband and son. Follow their journeys in this dual coming-of-age story that takes you through the chaos and quietude of their lives told as an exquisite poetic portrait of love and loss more than a century ago.
