Title: Brilliant and Innovative
Review: This book is divided into three parts, the first of which has quite a different style--much slower with more stream of consciousness (but not too much). However, the book as a whole is cohesive. As the main character suggests about her own writing, the first part of the book (which some describe as plodding) owes much to Virginia Woolf's style, but not so much that the reader has a difficult time figuring out what is going on. I think the first part of the book is the manuscript that Briony submits to a publisher around the time she begins nursing. Thus, while the style is somewhat confusing, it helps us to understand the characters more--Briony herself, and also those around her who form the tragic events of the novel. Perhaps I am mistaken! The "twist" at the end was truly beautiful and tragic, without being "cute" (like the ending of Amsterdam). I highly recommend this book for plot, style, and innovation on the form of the novel itself.
