Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.
