Emma Carroll was a secondary school English teacher for many years. The Somerset Tsunami is Emma's ninth novel for Faber; she has also written the highly-acclaimed Frost Hollow Hall, The Girl Who Walked on Air, In Darkling Wood, The Snow Sister, Strange Star, Letters from the Lighthouse, Secrets of a Sun King and When we were Warriors. She lives in the Somerset hills with her husband and two terriers.

'Emma Carroll is the Hilary Mantel of children's fiction, belting out the sort of elegant, informative historical novels that scoop up awards and feature on every school reading list. She is a natural storyteller who wears her research lightly, champions the boy or girl next door and keeps her plots moving at a breakneck pace. If your children have not read her, they have some catching up to do: this is her fifth historical novel in two years.' The Telegraph
