On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen:
year-old Briony Tallis sees her sister Cecilia strip off
her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garder
of her country house. Watching her is Robbie Turner
her childhood friend who, like Cecilia, has recently:
come down from Cambridge.

By the end of that day the lives of all three will have
been changed for ever. Robbie and Cecilia will have
crossed a boundary they had not even imagined at its
start, and will have become victims of the younger
girl's imagination. Briony will have witnessed mysteries and committed a crime for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to atone.
