Description:
Atonement is the story of thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis, whose confused imagination forever colors her life and those of her older sister Cecilia and their housekeeper’s son Robbie Turner. The setting extends from a gathering at the Tallis English manor house in 1935, through Dunkirk and World War II military hospitals, to a reunion of the Tallis clan in 1999. The 2001 Ian McEwan novel is highly regarded, and the 2007 film starring Saoirse Ronan, James McAvoy, and Keira Knightley was nominated for seven Academy Awards. Whether you are an avid reader or a movie buff (or both!), Rated R for READ is a casual book/movie club that is your cup of (English Breakfast) tea. Bring your copy of the book or simply show up for the movie and enjoy the post-movie discussion and themed snacks provided. You may then be able to answer that classic question: Which did you prefer—the book or the movie?
