Upon starting this, I actually realised that I had read it a few years ago! Funny because I was avoiding the movie until I had read the book....
Atonement follows the story of two sisters, Briony and Cecilia Tallis and their "charlady's son", Robbie Turner. Briony mistakenly accuses Robbie of a terrible crime when she is twelve, on the very night that Cecilia falls in love with him. The rest of the book deals with the repercussions for the characters.
An interesting book - I did really want to know what happened to Cecilia and Robbie finally though. Beautiful descriptions throughout and the different narrative voices are very well realised through McEwan's prose.
