Briony, une adolescente surprend Robbie, celui qu'elle aime en secret, dans les bras de sa soeur aînée et décide de se venger. Quoi de mieux qu'une accusation de viol qui va envoyer Robbie en prison? Dans la seconde partie du roman, Robbie est soldat et participe à la Seconde Guerre mondiale et Briony cherche par tous les moyens à expier ce crime qu'elle a commis cinq ans auparavant (en 1935). L'expiation sera "lonGue et douloureuse" (A. Clavel). Recommandé. [SDM].

Work Description
On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her older sister Cecilia strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching Cecilia is their housekeeper’s son Robbie Turner, a childhood friend who, along with Briony’s sister, has recently graduated from Cambridge. By the end of that day the lives of all three will have been changed forever. Robbie and Cecilia will have crossed a boundary they had never before dared to approach and will have become victims of the younger girl’s scheming imagination. And Briony will have committed a dreadful crime, the guilt for which will color her entire life.
