Summary
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.

Yet another masterpiece by McEwan. The way he is able to span such different topics and environments is beyond compare.

This is a novel for people who really like words and language. In truth, I actually think the story takes second fiddle to the language, and how it is used so spectacularly at painting the most incredibly vivid pictures of every single moment in every single thought. Once you focus on the language suddenly the story creeps up over you, and it becomes riveting!

The story was well written and while the narration and description were unique the story itself was not. Narration was excellent.
