Just finishing a book and closing it never give me an end taste.I always aspire on writing something about it, not actually reviewing, i don’t call myself worthy to be into it, but mostly mending my feelings, emotion of the same is every day thought.
Today I finished atonement, a pack full of flavours ( feelings) from rich of excitement to detectable tragedy to inescapable unhappiness.
Atonement as the name implies is a story based on self obliging for the act of wrong done. A 13yr old girl, who commits a mistake, which she engulfs herself throughout her life and serves for it till her end.
When we commit a mistake, sometime it so happens that the mistake creates a lock, without a key , and makes it unable to unlock it in future. Some calls it as gods play or some human faults which is irreparable. That’s what happened in Briony's life which caused a serious impact on her sister and much more affect to her (sister's)love of her life.
The misunderstanding when wanted to be corrected, went with the winds of circumstances and became unchangeable when the culprit was immune with the innocent, which was unbreakable.
The atonement, which she pursued to offer, stretched up till her age 77 and only ended (or can say made a new beginning) by a shape of a book, an autobiography, of her wrongdoers and finished with sweet end, even when the realistic persecutions was bitter.
Ian Macewn, the author, has showed me a special way of writing which I really want to share. In a sentence, he merges not only the present, but also the past and also depicts the future. It’s actually difficult but I will never stop trying to use it, which was in past unaware, but in future will make me to master.
The language is not in a level to normal but one step ahead, but never an off flow one. A person, who is continues reader may not face much difficulty, but for others a little bit of vocabulary mastering is necessary.
Three folds of the story revolves behind the descriptions of the world war II and makes the essence of the story interesting and is also an influence for the story.
Overall I loved the way, the story is been emerged and written, one of the booker prize nominated fiction. For non-readers there is the movie too which is also one of the most watched ones.
Offend can be said as the essence of a story and atonement the storyline.
A book for a predominant reader and a story which can never be "like"
