Atonement - Ian McEwan

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A symphonic novel of love and war, childhood and class, guilt and forgiveness that provides all the satisfaction of a brilliant narrative and the provocation we have
come to expect from the acclaimedBooker Prize-winning, internationally bestselling author.

One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

On a hot summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old
Briony Tallis witnesses a moment's flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia,
and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant and Cecilia's childhood friend. But Briony's incomplete grasp of adult motives-together with her precocious literary gifts-brings
about a crime that will change all their lives.

As it follows that crime's repercussions
through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth
century, Atonement engages the reader on every conceivable level, with an ease and
authority that mark it as a genuine masterpiece.
