Description
Description
The Colony of Unrequited Dreams by Wayne Johnston is a sweeping historical novel set in Newfoundland during the early 20th century. At its heart is Joey Smallwood—journalist, activist, and the man who would one day lead Newfoundland into Confederation with Canada.
Blending history with fiction, Johnston paints a vivid portrait of Smallwood’s rise and his complex, lifelong relationship with the fictional journalist Sheilagh Fielding. Epic in scope yet deeply personal, this novel explores ambition, love, politics, and betrayal against the rugged backdrop of Newfoundland’s identity and transformation.
Hailed as one of Canada’s great modern novels, it is a powerful story of dreams, nationhood, and the human spirit.
