About this title

Synopsis

National bestseller

Winner of The 1999 Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction

Shortlisted for the 1998 Giller Prize, the Governor General's Award for Fiction, and Rogers Communication Writers Trust Fiction Prize

One of The Globe and Mail's Top 100 Notable Books of 1998 and Critics' Pick: One of the Year's Top Ten Books

A Maclean's Choice for Best Fiction from Fall, 1998

Wayne Johnston combines brilliant storytelling with unforgettable description, and gives us two of the most memorable characters in Canadian fiction: Joe Smallwood, who claws his way from obscurity to become Newfoundland's first premier; and Sheilagh Fielding, a popular newspaper columnist and gifted satirist who casts a haunting shadow over Smallwood's life and career. A mystery and a love story spanning five decades, The Colony of Unrequited Dreams is an epic portrait of relentless ambition from a novelist at the height of his powers.
