On a hot summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses her older sister flirting with a childhood friend. Not fully understanding adult behavior, Briony, prone to literary fantasies, later accuses the boy of the crime. Having unknowingly broken three lives at once, Briony searches for ways to atone, while World War II breaks out. Ian McEwan's brilliant novel is a symphony that combines love and war, guilt and forgiveness, rich style and provocation - everything you would expect from this English master of words.
