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

Pathways by Katie  Ward
"I have only just restarted my reading journey, and this book is not typically in the genres that I gravitate toward. I really enjoyed the author's use of tone and style. There was a sparseness but I found this to be gentle, rather than aggravating. I" Read more of this review »

"So Interesting

The story is so sensitively written. The story is kind of hypnotic and the characters draw you in. I really wanted to know what happened in the end. It is a good story. "

Pathways by Katie  Ward
"In ‘Pathways’, as in her debut novel, ‘Girl Reading’, East Anglian writer, Katie Ward, showcases the elegance of her prose, her wry humour and originality of thought. The plot, a nexus of a love story and the world of neuroscience, will keep readers " Read more of this review »

I just love this novel. I found it utterly compelling from the very first page. It’s filled with flawed but wonderful and believable characters that I couldn't wait to get back to.

Quotes by Katie Ward  (?)

“Sibil is a remarkable achievement, and this museum is the envy of galleries and spaces around the world because you have made your home here with us. Sincerity speaks steadily, taking a breath at each pause: You are being kind, Fernand. It is a great honor for me to work in this beautiful and prestigious building, which so captured my imagination when I was a little girl even before I saw it in mesh. It gives me deep satisfaction that my project will continue to be hosted by the European Museum, and that the museum will be a guardian of its development. Sibil will be the catalyst for a new era in the study of art. Through Sibil, we will rediscover aspects of our culture, and nature, that progress has made us forget. What better place for her to be than here? More”

“We were never going to have jobs in mesh, were we? We were going to live as much in real world as we could, out of principle. We were going to help save real paintings and real books—track them down, keep them safe for our children and our grandchildren, because hard formats are the only ones that survive in the long run.”
Katie Ward, Girl Reading

“When Cloud Yabuki-Varma takes off her heart-shaped glasses all manner of items disappear, and when she puts them on they come back, and when she holds them out in front of her nose she can see stuff in the lenses but not around the edges. Spooky. The dinosaurs in Reptile Republic, the instruments in Music Corner, the entirety of Cupcake Garden, the floating mathematical models that can be manipulated to score points: now you see it, now you don’t; now you see it, now you don’t. People do look silly in mesh when you are real world. Her classmates interact with invisible beasts, gesticulate at empty space, laugh in unison when nothing funny has happened. Some big trick. Every child is wearing i-specs in various designs”
