Atonement by Ian McEwan

I really liked this book even though what Briony did to her sister and family friend was despicable, it was an interesting setting (late 30s in Great Britain), very well written and kept me interested through the last page.

It's an intriguing name for the novel since in my opinion since Briony never really acquires atonement for what lies she has told. What a spiteful character.

Wow--I was not expecting the ending on this one. I had to read the last couple of pages again just to make sure I understood what the author said. I'm anxious to see how the movie is with Kiera Knightly and James McAvoy.
