'Set in Brisbane, this ambitious debut novel tells the story of five very different men and women who share a 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 caring for two difficult sons; an accountant struggling to come to terms with his unfulfilled ambition; and a runaway drug addict, Fiveways is a fascinating snapshot of some of the people who inhabit a modern city.'
