Quill & Quire Online has a review of Wayne Johnston's new novel The Custodian of Paradise. Here is an excerpt of the review by Maureen Garvie:
"In The Colony of Unrequited Dreams, his acclaimed 1999 novel fashioned loosely around the life of Joey Smallwood, Wayne Johnston created a brilliant foil for the undersized premier in the towering character of Sheilagh Fielding. Apparently agreeing with many readers that she was unforgettable and too good to waste, Johnston gives Fielding her own story to tell this time out."
And the closing paragraph is a good summation of any of Johnston's works:
"By the book’s end, many mysteries have been laid to rest, only to be replaced with new ones. This raises the happy possibility that Johnston intends to return to the scene again."
