Ian McEwan's symphonic novel of love and war, childhood and class, guilt and forgiveness combines all the satisfaction of a superb narrative with the provocation we have come to expect from this master of English prose.
On a summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses the firtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant. But Briony's incomplete grasp of adult motives and her precocious imagination bring about a crime that will change all their lives, a crime whose repercussions Atonement follows through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth century.

Confessional yet irredeemable, for there is “no atonement for novelists”.

Couldn’t stop shipping Cecilia and Robbie. Love the part of Robbie hesitating about writing the letter: a man seems to be the king of the world, not knowing that a bleak future awaits him.

不去代入纠结于一些没必要纠结的事情的话，这本书还是比较完美的。是很多外来误会加时代原因堆积起来的爱情悲剧。可能很多人喜欢完美结局。我却沉溺于悲剧的过于真实。

开头结尾都很喜欢，尤其最后年老的Briony坐在台下看Trial of Arabella ps才发现模仿游戏的剧本也是麦克尤恩写的

2023.05.07. 我读的第一本麦克尤恩。在1930年代的英国中产家庭，一个十来岁的小女孩因对姐姐男友心生爱慕但欲求不得而撒了一个弥天大谎、指控其性侵邻家少女并害其无端入狱。随后二战爆发，姐姐爱人上了前线，姐姐与全家人决裂，而妹妹则终其一生寻求忏悔和赎罪。故事的核心是在探讨“小孩子撒谎”可以带来的无尽恶果，是个好故事，但400页的体量的确是有些“自我沉醉”：我的确时不时能读到写的很优美很触动人... 2023.05.07. 我读的第一本麦克尤恩。在1930年代的英国中产家庭，一个十来岁的小女孩因对姐姐男友心生爱慕但欲求不得而撒了一个弥天大谎、指控其性侵邻家少女并害其无端入狱。随后二战爆发，姐姐爱人上了前线，姐姐与全家人决裂，而妹妹则终其一生寻求忏悔和赎罪。故事的核心是在探讨“小孩子撒谎”可以带来的无尽恶果，是个好故事，但400页的体量的确是有些“自我沉醉”：我的确时不时能读到写的很优美很触动人的段落，但亦要面对大量冗长的、既不为推动主故事线服务、又不足够精彩到自成一段的琐碎情节。好在作者终于在【最后一刻】给予了读者很大的回馈：故事在最后揭露原来整本书都是妹妹在多年以后所写下的一部“小说”，并给出另一个真相，以及“何为真相”和“小说家能否真正通过写作完成赎罪”的探讨。很有意思，值得一读。 (展开)
