The story takes place over several years, following Robbie, Briony and Cecilia as they reconvene, reconcile, and try to make amends for everything that happened during the separation. Briony, seeing their secret rendezvous, assumes that Robbie forced himself on her and gets him arrested and taken away. Her older sister, Cecilia, and the ground keeper’s son, Robbie, have some kind of romance going on that escalates at the beginning of the novel. I dived into it in preparation for this class and was not disappointed.Ītonement is the story of Briony, a young girl with a talent for writing. I hadn’t done either before this class, but I did already own the book.
I had heard of this book before a lot of my fellow classmates had read it before me, or had watched the movie. I’ve written book reviews for most of the books I read on that list, but there are some left. We weren’t required to read every book on the list, but we were required to read at least 10 of them. One particular class, ‘Contemporary British Fiction’ involved a 60-book long reading list. The combination of having very long reading lists, plus a real love for the topic, even though I was working towards a deadline, meant that I did a lot of reading for a lot of classes. I read a lot of books in my third year of University. Overall,the book was awesome and this review is inadequate and filled with adjectives that mean the same thing!I would recommend this to all the crazy romantics out there and anybody who has the book with them,it is a must read.I don't think I'm going to rad it again but I will cherish it forever. She tried repenting but that was not enough.Overall the book was great but there were some parts that I hated.I didn't even read the second part.It was about war and to me,it was pretty boring.I skipped most of those parts but I had to say I loved the third part and read it with all my concentration.Characters like Luc Cornet,even though small,leaves a mark.I loved all the characters but I hated one,Paul Marshall,that man! and Briony should've opposed the wedding.But,I'm not Briony and I can't control what happens in the story.I just went with it.I was happy with the ending of the third part but then I realized it was a lie!īut Briony gave them their happiness or that is what she said. Well,Ian McEwan.you just made me sad.why did you do that.Well,I guess life happens.The books is just beautiful.It touched my heart with all its sadness and beauty and was just wonderful.Cecilia and Robbie's love is just exemplary,a stuff of the myths.I don't know how to explain my feelings towards Briony.I hated for doing what she did but later I didn't know how I feel about her.But I have to say,she is a spineless creature and she admitted that too.
