Saphir #12
In "Le voyage de l'amour," eighteen-year-old Lee flees her stifling life in Croxton just weeks before her birthday, only to find herself stranded and vulnerable in London. Robbed and alone, she faces a city full of strangers who see her as a target—until she hears Ward playing guitar in an underground station, offering a moment of unexpected kindness. A quiet, poignant story of displacement and fragile connection, drawn in a stark, expressive style and typeset with a distinct, intimate rhythm.
In the quiet vastness of the Canadian Rockies, Beth—fresh from her French finishing school—arrives at her grandfather’s logging camp to find more than just snow-capped peaks and timbered trails. As she settles into the rhythm of life far from the elegance she knew, an unexpected connection begins to form with her father’s foreman, stirring feelings neither of them expected.
In "Le sentier des amoureux," Madge watches from afar as a mysterious man courts different women by the lake on her property, each visit a fleeting romance. When his car gets stuck in the mud, she pulls him out with her tractor, sparking an unexpected connection—though she wonders if their lives are too different for anything to grow.
In the quiet desperation of a small town, Lee flees Croxton just weeks before her eighteenth birthday, chasing a future she can't yet name. Lost and alone in London, she faces the city’s harsh edges—strangers who see only weakness, not a girl trying to survive. But when she hears music echoing from a subway platform, Ward’s guitar offers a rare moment of connection in a world that feels determined to push her away.
When Laure’s trusty scooter, Fred, helps her win Jacques’s heart, she passes it on to her sister—only to find the same machine seems to bring nothing but misfortune to her sister’s romantic hopes. A quiet, bittersweet tale of love, inheritance, and the strange magic of everyday objects, told with gentle charm in Saphir #12.
