Recensione:
“Enormous in scope and profound in sympathy, it hits every note from exquisitely trivial detail to ludicrous daily comedy to numbing tragedy. Essential reading!”
–Margaret Atwood
“A provocative and hugely entertaining novel.”
–Globe and Mail
“A demanding, risk-taking and rewarding masterpiece.”
–Maclean’s
“Margaret Drabble is a writer of shining wit and splendid seriousness.”
–Alice Munro
“Drabble combines the humanity of Alice Munro and the intelligence of Margaret Atwood with her own crystalline wit.”
–Sheila Fischman
“The Radiant Way, with its brave perceptivity and bite, stands as a modern Middlemarch, an ultimately inspiring achievement.”
–Vancouver Province
“A perceptive, contemporary novel....Drabble has a dry wit and unflinching eye for the ridiculous....”
–Kitchener-Waterloo Record
“Splendid....The Radiant Way leaves us profoundly depressed by the ailing condition of England and yet exhilarated by Drabble’s considerable accomplishment in this richly conceived novel.”
–Hamilton Spectator
