Winner of The 1999 Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction

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.
