Hosted by Sean

Join us for a rich and immersive discussion of Atonement by Ian McEwan, a modern classic that examines guilt, truth, love, and the devastating consequences of a single moment.

McEwan’s masterful storytelling pulls readers through decades of emotional complexity, wartime upheaval, and the lasting weight of a young girl’s mistake. With lyrical prose and an unforgettable structure, Atonement remains one of the most celebrated literary works of our time—perfect for readers who love layered narratives, deep character studies, and books that linger long after the final page.

📍 In partnership with ARCO and Whose Books

✨ “Magnificent… McEwan forces his readers to turn the pages with greater dread and anticipation than does perhaps any other ‘literary’ writer working in English today.”
—Claire Messud, The Atlantic Monthly
