Plot summary: In the summer of 1935
Briony Tallis, a 13-year-old from a well-to-do English family,
is a budding writer. She hopes to have her cousins Lola and
the twins Jackson and Pierrot enact a play of her devising
during a family get-together, but the cast is hopeless. During
the day, however, she spies a servant's son, Robbie Turner,
apparently making her older sister Cecilia strip, and comes
upon an obscene love letter he has written her. Briony's
fertile imagination conjures all sorts of awful things, and
when her cousin Lola is raped, our heroine is pretty sure she
saw Robbie do it. He is sent to prison, much over Cecilia's
protests, gets out early to fight in France where he is caught
up in the confusion of the retreat at Dunkirk, and over the
years matters sort out more or less between the estranged
family
members. | |
