Half a Moon: 14 Days of Celebrating Women

Briony is one of those characters I would totally put on a list of favourite literary characters (or movie characters because Romola Garai plays her to perfection). Sure, she makes a mistake, but she spends the rest of her life trying to atone for it (maybe not in the best way though). But I love how she sees the world through a writer's perspective. I actually wrote a paper on Atonement (the novel) last year and it made me appreciate her character so much more.
