In the summer of 1935, Briony discovers the budding romance between her sister Cecilia and Robbie, the housekeeper's son. Her naive reaction leads her to accuse him of a crime he did not commit, separating the couple. Years later, during the Second World War, Briony works as a nurse and tries to atone for her guilt; the novel deals with memory, forgiveness and the power of fiction.
