Ian McGuire, The North Water: 'Subtle as a harpoon in the head, but totally gripping', book review 9 February 2016". Independent. Archived from the original on 18 June 2022 . Retrieved 8 February 2016. Wilson-Lee’s point is that we all need to be a bit more De Góis and a bit less De Camões. Employing prose as luscious as it is meticulous, Wilson-Lee shows us the world through De Góis’s eyes, a wonderful tapestry that includes Ethiopians and Sami, Hieronymus Bosch (he owned three of the master’s fever-dream paintings) and elephants that can write in dust with their trunks. In 1531 De Góis was hugely affected by an audience he had with Martin Luther in Wittenberg when the great man’s wife served him hazelnuts and apples. There was a point to the meal’s simplicity that went beyond grandiose self-denial. Luther believed that the obsession with international capitalism, which brought spices and other exotic delicacies pouring into Europe, was pointless and wasteful. Shopping locally and growing your own (Mrs Luther had a very nice kitchen garden) was the righteous way to go. A fascinating analysis that will bridge the interests of environmentalists and historians, political scientists, or economists.” — Library Journal

Man Booker prize 2016: the longlist – in pictures". The Guardian. 27 July 2016 . Retrieved 28 July 2016. A dazzling tale spanning millennia, geography, science, and human civilizations, that is more than the story of water. It is a story of ideas and institutions; of tensions between individual enterprise and collective action; of human needs and planetary dynamics. I am astonished at its breadth, depth, and scholarship, at once encyclopaedic yet also highly readable.” —Lynn Scarlett, Chief External Affairs Officer, The Nature Conservancy
