This lively debut novel tells the story of five very different men and women who share a busy inner-city bus route but who are on very different journeys. Featuring an immigrant cellist grieving the loss of his daughter; a young banker who finds that having a rich father isn't always enough; a single mother being pushed to the breaking point by her tearaway sons; an accountant's wife struggling to come to terms with her husband's mid-life crisis; and a runaway drug addict, Fiveways is a fascinating snapshot of modern city life. Fresh and timely, Fiveways mirrors a bus journey, with characters coming and going as their stories reach their own climaxes.
