Through a Brick Wall, Darkly by Barbara Yates Rothwell

Through a Brick Wall, Darkly by Barbara Yates Rothwell

Andrea is adopted, and she has had a happy and satisfying life, loved by parents, husband, and children. But when her beloved husband dies suddenly, she decides to find her birth mother, and she soon realises that life has not necessarily been so satisfying for all adoptees. In a determined bid to find the truth, she meets a wary adoptee and relinquishing mothers whose stories affect her deeply. Too late to back out, Andrea unpicks the mystery of her own birth and pre-adoption life, but where will the knowledge lead her?

BARBARA YATES ROTHWELL lived, married and brought up six children in Surrey, England, before emigrating to Western Australia in 1974 with her musician husband and their two youngest daughters. Her other children arrived in Australia in due course.

Also a musician and a trained singer, she was for ten years in the 1980s a music reviewer for The West Australian newspaper.

After founding and running the Yanchep Community School for eight years, and having successfully written and sold innumerable short stories and articles to major magazines in several countries, Barbara decided it was time to branch out into novel writing. Longman Cheshire published her teenage historical novel, THE BOY FROM THE HULKS, in 1994, and in 1998 her historical novel DUTCH POINT was published privately in England.

In 2004 she joined forces with Trafford Publishing (Canada) to produce COULTER VALLEY, an Australian story tracing the effects on a family of artists of a despotic father; and in 2005 the same cooperation produced KLARA, fiction based on fact, the story of a German Jewess who, forced to leave Nazi Germany, was sponsored by an English family.

Barbara was a journalist in the UK for several years, as Women's Page Editor for a large group of weekly papers in the south of England, and as a free-lance. She has also written two full-length and several one-act plays, which have been performed in community theatres in Western Australia and New South Wales.
