I suggested Atonement earlier. I’m reading it again now, it’s better the second 
time.

Also, I need to re-read Crime & Punishment regarding atonement--but there was 
redemption/salvation, as I recall.

It takes a while for the main character to atone but the first book I could 
think of was Singer's Kuntsnmakher fun Lublin (דער קונצנמאכער פון לובלין).  I 
haven't read the English translation but I assume the story is close to the 
original.

How about a more modern novel, aptly named:  Atonement by Ian McEwan.  or an 
old classic Jewish novel: Yoshe Kalb by I.J. Singer or Bernard Malamud's The 
Assistant?

There's no atonement in Crime and Punishment. How about The Sense of an Ending?

A patron is looking for a novel – any novel, not a particular one – which 
includes a character who does true atonement. Suggestions, anyone?



Thanks.
