Pathways

From the award-winning author of Girl Reading, a brilliant novel for fans of Kate Atkinson.

'A compelling and original novel' JESSICA CORNWELL

'You'll love sinking into the skin of each character, chapter by chapter . Fabulous' EVA VERDE

Cara versus Heather. Cara is a neuroscientist trying to make a contribution to the field; Heather, her almost-stepdaughter, is trying to find ways to express herself. When their family life breaks down, it causes a rift between them that may never heal again. Set partly in the research labs of Cambridge - and partly on the luminous streets of Las Vegas - these two different worldviews seem irreconcilable.

Pathways is a novel of both the heart and the head. You will be drawn into the interwoven lives of Heather and Cara, who struggle to understand and accept one another. Fascinating, perceptive and intimate, Pathways is about fragile connections, and the need for authenticity.
