Anthill follows the thrilling adventures of a modern-day Huck Finn, whose improbable love of the "strange, beautiful and elegant" world of ants ends up transforming his own life and the citizens of Nokobee County.
Part thriller, part parable, Anthill will not only transfix readers with its stunning twists and startling revelations but will also provide readers with new insights into the meaning of survival in our rapidly changing world.
"Anthill, Wilson's debut novel, which has at its heart an extraordinary ant's eye view of the world..."
The Observer
"...contains surprises, danger and romance within a solid structure..."
Max Winter, The Times Literary Supplement
"...an astonishing literary achievement... Thanks to the depth of Mr Wilson's understanding of ants , his evocation of their ways is a more powerful tool for raising ecological awareness than any Disneyfication is likely to be."
The Economist
"...compelling and well-written."
BBC Wildlife
"...Anthill is an enjoyable read..."
Metro Eireann
