Dreams and Shadows is a gripping novel set in Britain and France during World War 2.
'A very engaging and enjoyable read' Berlie Doherty, novelist, poet, playwright and twice winner of the Carnegie Medal for Writing
'Each sentence in this story is a stepping stone to the next; the reader is carried along, intrigued and expectant' Ian McMillan, poet, playwright, journalist and broadcaster
The story follows the lives of two young people, Tommy and Dora, whose budding romance is ripped apart by the horrors of the Sheffield Blitz and by the criminal gangs that exploited the turmoil created by war. Their lives are forced into new and separate directions. Tommy abandons a promising career to enlist in the army and takes part in the D-Day landings. Meanwhile, Dora faces dangers of a different kind. Unwittingly caught up in Sheffield's criminal underworld, she flees to London, only to find new threats awaiting her there. She is on a mission to achieve justice and her courage is tested many times.
In the aftermath of war, will Tommy and Dora survive its devastating impact and will their lives ever be the same again?
As well as drama, romance, combat and crime, the story is based on the social history of the time. The author was initially inspired by real-life stories of people who'd lived through those turbulent years and the fact that 2025 is the 80th Anniversary of the end of WW2.
