Ann Turnbull grew up in south-east London but now lives in Shropshire. She has always loved reading and knew from the age of ten that she wanted to be a writer. Her numerous books for young people include Pigeon Summer, A Long Way Home, House of Ghosts and Alice in Love and War.
Seeking Eden is the final story in Ann’s Quaker trilogy, and follows No Shame, No Fear (which was shortlisted for both the Whitbread Book Award and the Guardian Fiction Prize) and Forged in the Fire. Ann says, “When I left Will and Susanna together in 1667 with their newborn son, Josiah, I knew that as Quakers they would suffer increasing persecution. But I also discovered that in 1683 William Penn would at last realize his dream of founding a Quaker colony in America – and from that grew the idea for Seeking Eden.”
