Appraised and acclaimed as McEwan's finest achievement."Brilliant and utterly
enthralling in its depiction of childhood,love and war,England and class,at its centre is a profound - and profoundly moving - exploration of shame and forgiveness,of atonement and the difficulty of absolution".
The first part of the novel begins in the
summer of 1935 as 13 year-old Briony Tallis attempts to direct her three cousins in a self-penned play to celebrate the homecoming of her adored older brother,Leon.The children's lives should be idyllic in their upper-middle-class,
interwar setting,but real-life events soon
enrapture Briony more than her play.She witnesses a moment of sexual tension between her older sister Cecilia and Robbie Turner,the housekeeper's son,whom her father has been helping through medical school.Assuming he is forcing Cecilia into something,and later intercepting a letter Robbie sends to Cecilia declaring his lust,Briony decides that Robbie is an evil beast.When her cousin Lola is mysteriously attacked,Briony wrongly points the finger at Robbie,who is arrested and jailed. Cecilia,heartbroken at her lover's confinement and never ceasing to believe in him,leaves to become a nurse in London and refuses to speak to Briony.
The second part of the novel follows Robbie five years later,now in the army,as he undergoes the horrors and suffering of the Dunkirk evacuations.In the third,and final,part,Briony becomes a war nurse in London and begins to come to terms with her guilt over what she did to Robbie and Cecilia,now finally together.
In the epilogue,McEwan paints Briony as an ageing novelist,revisiting her past in fact and fiction and casting doubt over the truthfulness of her stories,which brings into question the author's struggle to relinquish control over the reaction of his readers.[EF.]
