Set against the breathtaking and harsh landscape o

Set against the breathtaking and harsh landscape of Newfoundland, Wayne Johnston's The Colony of Unrequited Dreams spans five decades, weaving a mystery and a love story featuring two unforgettable characters: Joey Smallwood, who rises from poverty to become Newfoundland's first premier, and Sheilagh Fielding, a brilliant columnist and satirist.
Johnston’s narrative is a tragicomic elegy for Newfoundland, showcasing his profound storytelling and humour, reminiscent of John Irving and Charles Dickens. Take home part 1 of the Newfoundland Trilogy today at PLB for $15: https://prelovedbookshop.com.au/book/the-colony-of-unrequited-dreams/
