"Quality Writing"

Review by Richard on 12th March, 2010

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Ian McEwan is a quality writer and author how knows his stuff. This is a well crafted story with an atmosphere that will have you thinking you are there and part of the story. Having said that the first section I did feel dragged on a bit long, but part two is really cracking, when the war starts. The ending is the key, and is brilliant.

Description

On the hottest day of the summer of 1934, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her sister Cecilia strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their 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.
