«Atonement» is the historical novel by Ian McEwan, published by Vintage in paperback (371 pages, in English).
On a hot summer day, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a scene between her sister Cecilia and Robbie Turner. Her imagination triggers an accusation that will change their lives; the novel follows the consequences of that mistake through war and time, in a story about guilt, love and atonement.
Originally published in 2001, the novel was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. This edition features the cover of the film adaptation, starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy.
For readers of historical and literary fiction and for book clubs seeking novels with moral dilemmas.
