The Radiant Way is a 1987 novel by British novelist Margaret Drabble. The novel provides social commentary and critique of 1980s Britain, by exploring the lives of three Cambridge-educated women with careers as knowledge professionals.
Reception
Kirkus reviews was mildly critical of the novel's tendency for exposition but writes "On the whole, however, this is one of the best of Drabble's books, immersing the reader in a credible, relevant world." Writing in the new Criterion, Donna Rifkind describes the novel as a continuation of "constraining sameness [in her other works] which keeps Drabble as a writer wandering around the same circle, treading the same ground."
