THE WINTER WIVES

Scotiabank Giller-Prize winning author Linden MacIntyre returns with a profound, contemporary novel that explores our collective layers of delusion about what makes a "real" man or a "real" woman

Two men - friends since junior school - fall in and out of touch, but eventually end up in business together. They are each married to two sisters, which complicates the layers of love, deceit, and loyalty that emerge when their jointly-owned company comes under criminal investigation. Peppered throughout by issues of dementia, morality, trust, and illusion, this is a complex and nuanced look at the emotional web created by friends and lovers over their lifetimes.

Linden MacIntyre is a bestselling novelist and writer of nonfiction. The author of eight books, he has won the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Evelyn Richardson Prize, the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Nonfiction, among others. MacIntyre, who spent 24 years as the co-host of The Fifth Estate, is also a distinguished broadcast journalist who has won ten Gemini awards for his work.
