Atonement (SIGNED)

McEwan, Ian

£110.00

ÔA person is, among all else, a material thing, easily torn and not easily mended.Õ On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her sister Cecilia strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching her too is Robbie Turner who, like Cecilia, has recently come down from Cambridge. By the end of that day, the lives of all three will have been changed for ever, as Briony commits a crime for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to atone. – Shortlisted for the Booker Prize; TIME Magazine named Atonement as one of the 100 greatest English-language novels since 1923.
