Product Description

Liz, Alix and Esther are old friends whose lives continue to cross and uncross. As the years pass, they are more than ever disposed to question, to re-evaluate, to examine their motives and directions in the brutally prosperous, atrocity-hungry society of Britain.

From the Back Cover

'Absorbing and thought-provoking' Sunday Times

'Confident and marvellously accomplished' London Review of the Books

'A remarkable mixture of...compelling narrative, psychological insight, generous human portrayal, acute observation, humour, horror, beauty and disgust' The Times Literary Supplement --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sequel which is better than the first volume, 26 Mar 2001
By ctoader@ubisoft.ro (Bucharest, Romania) - See all my reviews
Being the sequel of The Radiant Way it is a surprising fact that I liked more A Natural Curiosity. Continuing from where The Radiant Way has left us, A Natural Curiosity is a lovely novel, written in the same intelligent style of Margaret Drabble. Three women, nonconformist intellectuals are leading their normal lives with few sparklings of originality, but some exterior things happen and have a great influence in their lives. Alix' serial killer and Liz's sister will prove to be important factors in their decisions from now on. Now and then Alix goes to prison to see Paul, "her serial killer" trying to demonstrate that his insanity, his evilness are not his fault, that there has to be another person which is morally responsible for his crimes. Liz must cope with her sister disappearance after her husband has commited suicide, fearing that she is dead and her body is not yet discovered.

Another dramatic, interesting, intelligent and funny book from Margaret Drabble, A Natural curiosity seems to be a natural sequel to the Radiant Way story, its characters always evolving, always learning, even in their fifties. It may be considered a fair description of modern British Society.
