Quinn is the fictional story of a young man, William Henry Quinn, who walks from the south-west of England to the far north of Scotland at the end of the Second World War.
Although fictional, the work is a response to the real experiences of young men and women who have suffered trauma as a consequence of conflict and personal tragedy, often leaving them adrift from their past and unsure of their futures.
As lives are changed forever, changes imposed by disasters – natural and man-made, by social and economic crises, by war and violence people go in search of a new life, travelling in any way they can to find a new home, a new purpose and to rebuild their place in the world.
