Atonement

I wish one could rewrite history, and it would be so. On the other hand, all our choices have led us to what we have today. I often think about what I would do if I could wake up back in 1984, having all I know now in my head, all my memories, all my knowledge. There are things I wish I had done differently. I am still pretty pleased with what I have right now.
Now, would Robbie and Cecilia's life have been much different? Robbie would still have gone to war, being young and able-bodied. Now, he would have had a higher rank, and he might have been a medic, and maybe survived, but - maybe his fate was to die. Cecilia might still have been a nurse and died the way she died. Though I wish Ian had given them a child.
But - a good book. Quick read. I'm glad I've read it.

BTW, the green dress... Did you know it has a Wikipedia page :-D
