The Radiant Way
The Radiant Way | Margaret Drabble
8 posts | 2 read | 12 to read
Now available in eBook. 1979. Three old Cambridge friends are brought together at a party to celebrate New Year's Eve, and the end of a decade. A portentous moment. A moment to reflect on what had seemed to be - and a moment to prophesy. Esther, Liz and Alix first met in Cambridge in the early fifties, a time when their futures held glittering promise. But with the dawn of the Thatcher era, everything changed. Now middle-aged, how will these confident women cope with the personal and professional challenges they will come to face?

#20series20days @Andrew65
Today i wanted to get away from crime and was looking on my bookshelves and saw these 3 bks which i read years ago and remember loving so maybe they deserve a reread. Other than crime i also love middle class family dramas and this trilogy looks at a three women and their families, friends from uni we follow them in 1979 over several years. I can't remember a lot more but the final one is signed.

Andrew65 These look good and worth a read. 4y
BarbaraBB Which is the first? 4y

andrew61 @BarbaraBB the radiant way, then natural curiosity. One of those that lives in memory so wonder if would be as good on reread. 4y

1979 London. Three women who have known each other since starting Cambridge are approaching their 50th birthdays. In the next 5 years they will face the illness and death of parents, divorce, worry over their kids starting their own lives, redundancy, their own legacies, the cuts of Thatcher‘s regime, and more. Timely in the age of Trump, and I can totally relate to these women. Excellent. #1001books

Cinfhen Sounds good ❣️#stacked 6y

@JenP one paragraph out of 400 pages, but yes another #1001books list book featuring elephants and hunting. Zambia this time.

JenP Hmm, is it as good? 6y
DreesReads It‘s very very different. I have fewer than 100 pages to go. I am really enjoying it, but it‘s really about early 1980s England. 6y

I am finding this book to be a very slow read, but there are some gems in here! Don't we all know people like this? #1001books

TOTALLY RANDOM. This is the same Margaret Drabble--and these are 2 of the next three books I will be starting. Mansfield Park is a group read. The Radiant Way was assigned me by a random generator. And it's Friday the 13th. In October. SPOOKY. 😱

The Radiant Way | Margaret Drabble

Since childhood, since her early school days, New Year‘s Eve had possessed for her a mournful terror: she had elected it to represent the Nothingness which was her own life, the solid, cheerful festival which had seemed to be the lives of others.
