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]
Christina Hardyment writes in The Independent and praises Margaret Forster as having "an extraordinary talent for handling an illuminating deeply sensitive issues of family life. Shadow Baby is a superbly constructed cross-cut tale of parallel lives Two girls are adopted as babies. Both search, when they are old enough, for the mothers who abandoned them. They find very different receptions - not just because of social changes but because of the characters and experiences of the "real" mothers they belatedly discover. Forster brilliantly conveys the contrasting times, both in attitudes to women and the options on offer for girls who find themselves pregnant outside wedlock. She also achieves a totally unexpected twist which knits together all the story's elements. The book's only weakness is the girls' absence of interest in their fathers." [2]

Babies switched at birth are babies who, because of either error or malice, are interchanged with each other at birth or very soon thereafter, leading to the babies being unknowingly raised by parents who are not their biological parents. The occurrence has historically rarely been discovered in real life, but in recent years is becoming more commonly identified due to genealogical testing of DNA, which reveals true genetic parentage. The phenomenon has been common as a plot device in novels and films, such as the TV series Switched at Birth and Autumn in My Heart.
