Pathways
'A compelling and original novel' JESSICA CORNWELL'You'll love sinking into the skin of each character, chapter by chapter . . . Fabulous' EVA VERDECara 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. 'The most original love story I have read in a long time. Funny, poignant, elegantly written, I adored this novel' AMANDA HODGKINSON'Katie Ward unleashes the full force of her poetic instincts and intellectual rigour on the endlessly refracting experience that is the human mind in the human body' KATE WORSLEY'Wonderful . . . It's thrillingly written, delicately accomplished and will live in my head for a long time' LLORED SHEPHERD
Lacná kniha Girl Reading (-50%)
Seven portraits. Seven artists. Seven girls and women reading. A young orphan poses nervously for a Renaissance maestro in medieval Siena, and an artist's servant girl in 17th-century Amsterdam snatches a moment away from her work to lose herself in tales of knights and battles. A young woman reading in a Shoreditch bar catches the eye of a young man who takes her picture, and a Victorian medium holds a book that she barely acknowledges while she waits for the exposure. Each chapter of this richly textured debut takes us into a perfectly imagined tale of how each portrait came to be, and as the connections accumulate, the narrative leads us into the present and beyond - an inspired celebration of women reading and the artists who have caught them in the act.
