      About This Book

      As Alzheimer's disease consumes her father's mind, writer Maggie Glass pieces together his past from his enigmatic hallucinations. But the further she goes in getting answers, the further she gets to the source of her own struggles and haunting memories. Spanning the African desert during the Second World War, 1930's Ontario farmland and Toronto in the '50s, it is a novel of considerable luminosity. Heartbreaking, enlightening and tender, Margaret Gibson's Opium Dreams is a personal journey through a family's complex past. It also received the Chapters/Books in Canada First Novel Award.
