Shadow Baby

Author(s): Margaret Forster

Fiction

Born in Carlisle in 1887, brought up in a children's home and by reluctant relatives, Evie, with her wild hair and unassuming ways, seems a quiet, undemanding child. Shona, born almost seventy years later, is headstrong and striking. But there are, as she discovers, unanswered questions about her past. The two girls have only one thing in common.
