18. HIS DARK MATERIALS 19. ATONEMENT

Philip Pullman

Anyone who enters the enchanted world where humans have animal “daemons” and witches and magic are real will be swept away. An intelligent trilogy about knowledge, religion and liberty, heroine Lyra also captivated moviegoers in 2007. EVERYMAN

Ian McEwan

Suffused with regret, this brilliant novel, set across three timelines, focuses on a mistake Briony Tallis made when she was just 13 years old. For her sister Cecilia and lover Robbie, portrayed by Keira Knightley and James McAvoy on screen in 2007, the consequences are dramatic.
