Atonement
Ian McEwan
This book is in 3 parts. It starts in a well-to-do household on a
hot summer's day. This part went on too long. It had the William
Trevor effect-fantastic, gorgeous prose which passes me by.
Andrew found it suffocating. (Doreen thought this effect was
deliberate).
The second part was set in France during the last war where
dreadful things happen.
The third part is a high wire act containing a vibrant section
about the girl from the first part who has become a nurse.
