Synopsis: taken from Barnes&Noble.com
Set in 1935 England, this "New York Times" bestseller is enthralling in its depiction of childhood, love and war, England and class, making it a profound—and profoundly moving—exploration of shame and forgiveness, of atonement and the difficulty of absolution.
My thoughts:
This is such a beautiful book filled with characters I really cared about. As soon as I started reading I was totally drawn in to the writing and the story. I could not put this book down! Atonement is quite the tragedy, and while I wouldn't want every book I read to be tragic, what happens to the characters in this story felt completely right. I have a feeling this story is going to stay with me for a long time.
