Winner, 2001 National Book Critics' Circle Award.
National Bestseller. Ian McEwan’s symphonic novel of love and
war, childhood and class, guilt and forgiveness provides all the
satisfaction of a brilliant narrative and the provocation we
have come to expect from this master of English prose. 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.
