Atonement by Ian McEwan
4.0
[1st read this from 24/6/2021 to 29/6/2021] — 4.5⭐️
— i don’t even know what to say about this.
atonement is one of my favorite movies of all time and i’d wanted to pick up the book for a long time before i actually decided to!
that’s exactly why i couldn’t enjoy this as much as i wanted to, i love the film too much (and i’m definitely not one of those people) but i absolutely loved the prose and all those little details the film erases for obvious reasons!
this is one of the stories that remind me how much love there is to live for, it warms (but also breaks) my heart every single time, it was also especially nice to see briony’s reasoning towards her atonement, which isn’t as expanded in the movie.
also shed a few tears in the last three pages, just because i love these characters and their story so much, as usual :)
