The Colour of Time, or the Incredible Story of Mary Gallagher

A novel from the bestselling author of Songs for the Cold of Heart.

Sightings of the ghost of Mary Gallagher, who was murdered, are reported every six years in Montreal, three days after Quebec’s Saint-Jean-Baptiste holiday… From the thrills and spills of the Expo 67 World’s Fair to the brothels, taverns and trained bears of Mary Gallagher’s 19th-century Griffintown district of Montreal, The Colour of Time is a larger-than-life saga. This fabulous trip through time—by the author of Songs for the Cold of Heart which was called “masterful” (Publishers Weekly) and “highly recommended” (Library Journal)—is proof positive that history is no match for destiny, and that all of the future exists in the past. One of the hallmarks of Eric Dupont’s writing is the juxtaposition of the supernatural and real worlds—his trademark magical realism. The lighthearted tone of his work often belies undercurrents of deeper themes and meanings.
