Atonment is a book where I can say I have never read anything quite like it. The prose is breathtaking and the storytelling a master class in the field, a modern classic in its own right. That being said, I rated it a 4.25 because my interest in the story ebbed and flowed, and a few sections felt redundant. However, the ending 100% makes up for any slower sections, and I did shed a few tears!
Overall, I would highly recommend Atonment to fans of historical fiction novels with a slower pace.
