13-year-old Briony Tallis and her family live a life of exquisite privilege in the English countryside in 1935. The idyllic lifestyle affords the girl an imagination perfectly suited to the writer she hopes to be.
But Briony’s creative mind also makes her misconstrue the actions of her older sister Cecilia and her lover Robbie Turner, the housekeeper’s son. When Briony accuses Robbie of a crime he didn’t commit, the repercussions continue to haunt them all. As time passes — through World War II and beyond — Briony faces the impossible challenge of making things right again.
