Atonement
Atonement is a family saga novel written by author Ian McEwan and published in 2001. It is about understanding and responding to the need for atonement. Set in four time periods of pre/present/post-World War II England/France, it covers a young upper-class girl's half-innocent mistake that ruins lives, and her adulthood in its shadow, which leads her into a reflection on the nature of writing. It is widely regarded as one of McEwan's best works. It was shortlisted for the 2001 Booker Prize for fiction. TIME magazine named Atonement in its list All-TIME 100 Greatest Novels. In 2007, the book was adapted into a BAFTA and Academy Award nominated film of the same title, starring James McAvoy and Keira Knightley, and directed by Joe Wright.
Atonement
Atonement (also atoning, to atone) is the concept of a person taking action to correct previous wrongdoing on their part, either through direct action to undo the consequences of that act, equivalent action to do good for others, or some other expression of feelings of remorse. From the Middle English attone or atoon ("agreed", literally "at one"), now meaning to be "at one", in harmony, with someone. Atonement "is closely associated to forgiveness, reconciliation, sorrow, remorse, repentance, reparation, and guilt". It can be seen as a necessary step on a path to redemption.
