Banned Books 2017 – Atonement

Marshall University does not ban books! The information is provided to let people know what has been banned/challenged elsewhere.

2017

Retained in the adult nonfiction collection at the Toronto Public Library in Ontario, Canada, despite complaints of the novel’s poor grammar and sentence structure. Set in pre-World War II, wartime, and present-day England, it covers an upper-class girl’s half-innocent mistake that ruins lives; her adulthood in the shadow of that mistake; and a reflection on the nature of writing.
