 Author: Ian McEwan
Genre: General Fiction
Average Rating: 7.5/10 - 2 reviews
The first half of this book is so slow. The second half is better. It's the story of a girl who misinterprets something and then jumps to a conclusion that seriously affects the future of many people and then tries to find a way to atone for her life-changing lie. Very sad ending. Like I said, it got better toward the end.

Atonement
Faith warned me that I better have a review up before she gets back, so here goes...

I read this last year and it is still resonating in my mind. The major warning is that the book moves very slowly through the first half. If you make it to this point, you will be rewarded because the last half is unbelievably moving. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried my eyes out...

I'm currently part-way through the latest book by this author, so I will post when I finish it.
