Professional Reviews
|
| : |
Times Literary Supplement: "As well as being a superb writer of place, McEwan is also among the finest practitioners of the free indirect style in English, and each phrase in ATONEMENT vibrates with the voice of the character it is so discreetly ventriloquizing....The dust jacket proclaims ATONEMENT his finest achievement, and although publishers are prone to this...view of their authors' talents, in this case they are triumphantly right." |

| Publisher's Note: |
The play--for which Briony had designed the posters, programs and tickets, constructed the sales booth out of a folding screen tipped on its side, and lined the collection box in red crjpe paper--was written by her in a two-day tempest of composition, causing her to miss a breakfast and a lunch. |
