Life as Fiction - A Companion to Atonement by Ian McEwan

This is a reading companion for Atonement by Ian McEwan

Atonement is one of those texts that should really be read twice and to reflect that, I've produced a reading companion which points you in the right directions for your first reading, followed by a hugely comprehensive body of writing to accompany you as you read it a second time for deeper meaning.

This reading companion is ideally intended for students who would like to have a more informal way into the text although in truth anyone is welcome to read it. It started for me as a little guide for my own students that I began writing and it quickly got out of hand and morphed into something a lot bigger. In truth, this is more a labour of love than anything else and I hope that through reading this, you get a sense of that too.
