In Atonement, I don't think that Briony ever really achieves the atonement that she wants so badly. I think that it would have been different if Robbie and Cecelia had lived through the war and were able to reconnect and have the life together that they deserved. Also, if the book had ended the way that she wished it had, I think that other characters would have spoken up about who actually raped Lola. If this had happened, there would have been atonement for others as well as Briony.
