Atonement

Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Not a genre I'd generally reach for, but beautifully written. The story weaves a tense and intricate path--really capturing a sense of self realization and reflection.
The assault and accusations were too stressful for me and I ended up looking up the ending within the first 100 pages. Even knowing Briony manufactured the majority of the story and nothing could really be believed, I was so worried for the characters and curious to know how they'd get to their eventual ends.
