"I had a very big crush on Errol Flynn during 'Captain Blood.' I thought he was absolutely smashing for three solid years, but he never guessed. Then he had one on me but nothing came of it. I'm not going to regret that; it could have ruined my life."

“What a joy it is to read a book that shocks one into remembering just how high one's literary standards should be.â€¦ a tour de force by one of England's best novelistsâ€¦. Atonement is a spectacular book; as good a novel â€” and more satisfyingâ€¦â€” than anything McEwan has writtenâ€¦.sublimely written narrativeâ€¦.
