Excerpt from Saturday by Ian McEwan: Some hours before dawn Henry Perowne‚ a neurosurgeon‚ wakes to find himself already in motion‚ pushing back the covers from a sitting position‚ and then rising to his feet. It’s not clear to him when exactly he became conscious‚ nor does it seem relevant.

Nicholas Lezard‚ critic for the Guardian‚ says that Briony’s atonement and ‘the truth’ of her story is weakened by Ian McEwan’s characterization of her as an unreliable person.

Judging Lines Between Reality and Imagination in Atonement As I read Atonement‚ by Ian McEwan‚ on the beach in Long Beach Island I was confronted with a somewhat new style of writing that I did not recognize. The splitting of the novel into three main parts only made sense to me after I had finished it; the account of the crime that took place at the Tallis household‚ Robbie Turner’s adventures at war‚ and Briony’s tales as a nurse were all connected and ended up “coming together” much more smoothly
