Ian McEwan has received prestigious awards and international praise for his novels, including Enduring Love. In Atonement, three children lose their innocence--as the sweltering summer heat bears down on the hottest day in 1935--and their lives are changed forever. Cecilia Tallis is of England's priviledged class; Robbie Turner is the housekeeper's son. In their moment of intimate surrender, they are interrupted by Cecilia's hyperimaginative and scheming 13-year-old sister, Briony. And as chaos consumes the family, Briony commits a crime, the guilt of which she shall carry throughout her life.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“[A] masterpiece…Atonement is a work of astonishing depth and humanity.” —The Economist (London)
“An elegant, deeply felt meditation on the power of love and art.” —The Guardian (London)
“This is a thoughtful, provocative, and at times moving book that will have readers applauding.” —Amazon.com
“This haunting novel…is at once McEwan at his most closely observed and psychologically penetrating, and his most sweeping and expansive.” —Publishers Weekly
“[McEwan] excels brilliantly at depicting moral dilemmas and stressed minds in action without losing a keen sense of the body’s terrible fragility, the touching absurdity of desire, and time’s obstinacy.” —Booklist
