Katie Ward is an award-winning author from Suffolk UK. Her new novel, Pathways, is published by Fleet (Little, Brown UK 2024). Pathways is contemporary fiction: about Cara, a neuroscientist trying to make a contribution to the field; and Heather, her almost-stepdaughter, trying to find ways to express herself. Set partly in the research labs of Cambridge – and partly on the luminous streets of Las Vegas – these two different worldviews seem irreconcilable. Fascinating, perceptive and intimate, Pathways is a novel of both the heart and the head. Katie’s debut novel, Girl Reading, was published in the UK (Virago 2011), US (Scribner 2012) and South Korea (박하 Bakha 2014). It was a Cactus TV Book Club selection and a book of the week on the Oprah Blog. In 2013 Katie received the Clarissa Luard Award from Hilary Mantel. Katie says this: ‘Novels are intimate. They are an opportunity to share a point of view, to show and feel what cannot easily be explained. Some ideas are too intriguing and multifaceted to ignore: you stick with them because there is more you need to know. You’re trying to get as close as possible to your characters and story, until they are revealed. You can struggle with a manuscript for years, and eventually it’s finished because you’ve found the answers you were looking for. Then your novel goes out into the world and it becomes a mystery again.’
