Booker Prize-shortlisted novel made into a film starring Keira Knightley (9)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for atonement that I've seen before include "reparations?" , "Making good" , "Expiation of sin, penance" , "Compensation for a wrong" , "'Penance, redemption (9)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
