Is Alix's mass-murderer a hideous new phenomenon of the age, or are his roots in the pillaging Romans or the barbaric ancient Britons? Can Esther's experiment with a different love in a different land, or Shirley's mad escapade, free either from old ways and well-worn habits? And has Liz's life really been not a line, but a circle, drawing her forward to her beginnings?
In a narrative that moves effortlessly from black comedy to acute social observation, Margaret Drabble's A Natural Curiosity picks up some of the characters and stories of The Radiant Way, while adding others and shifting the scene to the North, in an engrossing continuation of her vivid panorama of the way we are today.

This is my first book by Margaret Drabble. I like the knowledge of human psychology she shows in small phrases, and her addressing the reader, making a bond.
