Hailed as a 'masterpiece' by The Times, Atonement unfolds on a sweltering summer's day in 1935. Young Briony Tallis, merely thirteen, observes her elder sister Cecilia take an unexpected plunge, starkers, into the family estate's fountain. Robbie Turner, freshly returned from Cambridge like Cecilia, is also a witness to this curious scene.

As the day progresses, the trio's lives become irrevocably entangled. Robbie and Cecilia find themselves traversing boundaries they'd scarcely imagined existed, whilst Briony becomes privy to enigmatic occurrences. In a moment of misunderstanding, she commits an act that will haunt her for decades to come, spurring a lifelong quest for redemption.

Ian McEwan's prose is nothing short of brilliant, with The Observer declaring Atonement 'the best thing he has ever written'. It's no wonder this compelling tale has earned its place among The Guardian's '100 Best Books of the 21st Century'.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
