Atonement: This 2001 Man Booker Shortlisted novel by Ian McEwan is a masterclass… it captures the emotions not only of the lovers but also of a girl who is on the verge of adulthood and her reaction towards the events she witnesses around herself. Robbie and Cecilia are the lovers and Briony is the girl who misinterprets the love of being something forceful and uncalled for… and then, you will be left with tears as you read the novel and understand what happens next. The drama is created around the theme of second world war and it culminates in present-day England (1999). A must read romance novel with the share of emotional overflow…
The Guide: The Guide is a 1958 novel written by famous Indian novelist R. K. Narayan. The novel is about a person who transforms into various personalities throughout the novel and only understands true love when he works selflessly for the betterment of people in a certain village.
