Read about the other entries on the list.Atonement, by Ian McEwan
Robbie and Cecilia lived happily ever after. The end…as long as you don’t read to the end of the book. Because if you read to the end, Atonement becomes Briony: The Story of How Many Lives One Confused, Suspicious Child Can Ruin, and Why Reading Other People’s Mail Is a Felony.
Atonement also appears on Isla Blair's six best books list, Jessica Soffer's top ten list of book endings, Jane Ciabattari's list of five masterpieces of fiction that also worked as films, and on John Mullan's lists of ten of the best birthday parties in literature, ten of the best misdirected messages in literature, ten of the best scenes on London Underground, ten of the best breakages in literature, ten of the best weddings in literature, and ten of the best identical twins in fiction. It is one of Stephanie Beacham's six best books.
