Shadow Baby is a 1996 novel by British author Margaret Forster.
Evie was born in 1887 in Carlisle and brought up in a children's home by reluctant relatives, with her wild hair and unassuming ways, she seems a quiet, undemanding child.[1] But is determined to find her mother.
Shona, born 1956 seventy years later, is headstrong and striking. She is born in Bergen, Norway and grows up in comfort and security in Scotland, the only child of doting parents. But there are, as she discovers, unanswered questions about her past.[1]
