"Terrific scope and a powerful narrative that keeps you turning the pages, while throwing up profound questions about humankind. Bravo - a great debut! " Jane Johnson, author and editor "Gracefully written... a brave and moving adventure of the imagination." Lindsay Clarke, prize-winning author of The Chymical Wedding "A brilliant, genre-defying read, Bone Lines deftly unravels the wonder of oneness." Barbara Bos, Editor, Women Writers, Women's Books. A young woman walks alone through a barren landscape in a time before history, a time of cataclysmic natural change. She is cold, hungry and with child but not without hope or resources. A skilful hunter, she draws on her intuitive understanding of how to stay alive... and knows that she must survive. In the present day, geneticist Dr Eloise Kluft wrestles with an ancient conundrum as she unravels the secrets of a momentous archaeological find. She is working at the forefront of contemporary science but is caught in the lonely time-lock of her own emotional past. Bone Lines is the story of two women separated by millennia yet bound by the web of life. This intriguing tale of love and survival, of courage and the quest for wisdom also explores the nature of our species and asks what lies at the heart of being human. Book 1 in The Children of Sarah series - look out for The Fire In Their Eyes - this second edition is now published by Breakthrough Books, Crafted by Humans, For Humans "Gripping read and a fascinating premise. I loved the authoritative tone, and the idea of simultaneous closeness and distance across huge swathes of time." Lulu Allison, author "A monument to the timelessness of human nature, and a work of art. Bretherton ignites her characters with a life, complexity, a personality with which any number of readers will identify and empathise with." Naomi Moore, Editor, New Orbit literary magazine "Ambitious and brave yet effortlessly pulled off... Like Sapiens... if fictionalised and seen through the eyes of two fierce and admirable women."

Autorenporträt
Born in Hong Kong to a pair of Liverpudlians (and something of a nomad ever since) Stephanie now lives on a cliff in Cornwall, in deep gratitude for her coastal perch. Before returning to her first love of writing fiction. Stephanie spent many years pursuing alternative forms of storytelling, from stage to screen and media to marketing meanwhile, an enduring love affair with words has led her down many a wormhole on the written page. Drawn to what connects rather than separates, Stephanie is fascinated by the spaces between absolutes and opposites. between science and spirituality, nature and culture. This lifelong curiosity - and occasional conflict - has been channelled into her debut novel, Bone Lines, and its follow up, The Fire in Their Eyes, book two in The Children of Sarah series. Stephanie also writes short stories, such as Human Error and Entropy published in Breakthrough Book's Taking Liberties and Order and Chaos anthologies respectively and The Right Kind of Medicine for Sunshine Superhighway fro
