A.N Wilson – Henley Literature Festival

The tragedy of the earthquake in Christchurch moved one of the Festival’s favourite speakers to write his latest novel, Aftershocks. Set in Aberdeen, an ordinary town until the earthquake, marriages are unhappy, people fall in love and the seasons pass. Houses are torn down and the foundations of humanity and religion are shaken, but bonds are forged. One of our finest writers offers a portrait of nature, death and morality.
