The Backward Shadow by Lynne Reid Banks

From the author of the memorable The L-Shaped Room comes this powerful, disturbing, bittersweet sequel--a complete novel in itself, which continues the story of Jane, now living in an English country cottage with her illegitimate child, determined to forge a viable, independent future. She still loves Toby, her past lover but not the father of her child, but she has an obsessive conviction that she must not burden his writing career by saddling him with her situation.
