Praise for The Potter's Hand (2012):
A rich and rather wonderful novel... It is one of these books which
gives the impression of having matured in the imagination for
years. One can't, in a short review, do justice to its abundance.
It is a cornucopia of a novel... wide in scope, rich in detail, and
deep in understanding - Scotsman;
Full of fascinating historical detail... [A. N. Wilson's] most
obvious fictional flourish, which sees a Cherokee transported to
the potteries, is as incredible as it is romantic... a rather
magnificent achievement - Daily Mail;
This is a splendid story, vividly told
*Economist*
Praise for The Book of the People (2015):
Believe it or not, this is a work of genius - The Times;
Wilson's delightful and unexpectedly moving book is characterised
by intellectual humility - New Statesman;
An elegant and insightful book
*The Independent*
Wilson's wit and erudition are much in evidence
*Sunday Times (Ireland)*
Wilson's book is as much a factual account of Forster's life as a
piece of historical fiction... Wilson's achievement is to impart a
restrained imaginative power that makes its extremes seem
credible.
*Guardian*
