Robert Ashby ![]() Book selected: The Radiant Way by Margaret Drabble New title: My Notting Hill; My Eighties Too The Radiant Way by Margaret Drabble is an appropriated host. Like a parasite I have occupied a relevant space, colonised it and transformed it to my purpose of elucidating my experience of the nineteen eighties, in the context of another’s (fictional) description of eighties London. The characters are going through changes, as I did, London did and the rest of the world did at the time. ![]() I have attempted to relate to the characters and locations in the book. This was my milieu, Central West London and Notting Hill particularly. But it was a very difficult time and eventually my marriage and business were lost, and I had to leave the area that I loved. back |
