The Books of The Times review on March 7, 2002, about “Atonement,” by
Ian McEwan, misidentified the time period in the novel when the
character Briony’s stint as a nurse trainee in World War II is
recounted. It is during the evacuation of Dunkirk, not the London
blitz. A reader pointed out the error last week in an e-mail message. Link
