It's 1969 and Mary Schormann is living quietly in Wales with her ex-POW husband, Peter, and her teenage twins, Richard and Victoria. Her niece, Linda Booth, is a nurse - following in Mary's footsteps - and works in the maternity ward of her local hospital in Lancashire. At the end of a long night shift, a bullying new father visits the maternity ward and brings back Linda's darkest nightmares, her terror of being locked in. Who is this man, and why does he scare her so? There are secrets dating back to the war that still haunt the family, and finding out what lies at their root might be the only way Linda can escape their murderous consequences.

Review "...an excellent read which has been well researched, and the author obviously has a love for this period. It is well paced and grips its reader from the first few pages." —Historical Novel Society"Judith Barrow has written, with great intensity of emotions, an absorbing saga which charges along, tempting the reader from chapter to chapter." —Beryl Thomas, Gwales "Barrow beautifully evokes those raw and edgy days with this well-paced, gritty love story." —Steve Dube, Western Mail "No ordinary love story; not only does Judith Barrow perfectly evoke a sense of time and place, but she deftly weaves in issues that speak across generations… An intelligent, poignant first novel brimming with intricate observations of the human condition." —Jan Fortune-Wood on Pattern of Shadows

By Terry Tyler I was looking forward to reading the third part of Judith Barrow's warts-and-all saga about the working class Howarth/Booth/Schorrman family living in Wales and northern England. The first part took place in WW2, the second in 1950, and Living in the Shadows takes us into the next generation, in the late 1960s.These books are very much an every day story of ordinary people, a bit like listening to The Archers or watching Emmerdale Farm before it lost its 'Farm'; I'm sure someone makes someone else a cup of tea every ten pages! They will hold a great nostalgic appeal for those who have lived through these times in similar circumstances, which explains their popularity. But they're more than just a real life drama; Judith Barrow has a clever and subtle way of showing the attitudes of the time amongst Mr and Mrs Average, rather than giving them a gloss, like a nostalgia programme on TV; this, for me, is their greatest strength.So, the 1960s... it wasn't all free love, Union Jack minis and Twiggy; the atmosphere of the war years of the 1940s and the struggle back in the 1950s prevailed. The extended family in this book come face to the face with scenarios of the type that were brushed under the carpet fifty years ago, ie, homosexuality and domestic violence. The storyline I found the most interesting was that of eighteen year old Victoria, who experienced the sinister side of the hippie movement; it shows how young people, eager to take on new trends, can be manipulated and taken advantage of. Oddly enough, I had only recently watched a few TV programmes about Charles Manson and his strange commune of brainwashed young women; Victoria's tale rang all too true.As for the older members of the family, the loss of one of them near the end made me feel very sad, even bringing a tear or two to my eye; this bit was very well written indeed. I suspect this is not the last we shall see of this family!

After writing emotionally moving books like Pattern of Shadow, Silent Trauma and Changing Patterns, Judith Barrow’s latest book is “ Living in the Shadows” - and it continues to keep the reader glued till the end !The story is very well written and is narrated brilliantly ! Living in the Shadows took me into a completely different world. All the characters came alive as I started reading the book - the Schormanns, Howarths, Booth, Shuttleworths, worths - and their fears, insecurities, thoughts and actions – turned almost real !The story is set between 16th September to 10th November, 1969, and it develops mostly around and in Ashford, Llamroth, Bradlow, Manchester. There are many chapters (89) and one wonders why ? I believe this creates a very nuanced picture of the moments in lives of people in the story. It helps to create a multi-dimensional and vivid picture for the reader to enjoy ! I liked this way of telling the story !Living in the Shadows is a hard-to-put-down-till-over book ! An emotional drama not worth missing !
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Amazing By Molly Flanders This novel is a wonderful family and historical drama. Told in short episodic chapters focusing on different characters it manages to illustrate life in Britain / Wales in 1969. Filled with descriptive detail and plotted in an atmospheric and authentic way it keeps a great pace all the way through and brings everything together nicely.Well-chosen and effortlessly drawn characters show life in the 1960s, and in particular for the Schormann’s and their extended family, whose complex story reaches back two volumes.An unpleasant encounter in the maternity ward right at the beginning of the book hints at the shadows of the title, but there are other storylines, such as the run-away daughter – which I found particularly well written.The novel shows the clash of rural, old-fashioned and modern living ideas while maintaining a suspenseful dramatic curve in the drama part of this work of art.Moving, engaging, rich and highly recommended.
