| The main character is a girl of around 13 years of age, with the name of Briony. she is a writer with a creative imagination, which eventually gets her sisters lover locked in jail and he therefore has to become part of the infantry, and fight in World War II. Briony's statement - she believed Robbie was raping her sister, and therefore tries to protect her - is what put Robbie in jail, and contributed to his death at Dunkirk. Briony spends the rest of her life trying to atone for this mistake.
One of the worst books I have ever read: it is non sensical and lacks true substance. The books flashbacks make it unclear as to what is happening and most of the book is spent backpeddling to catch up with what happened. Definitely a book that is easy to put down. | ||
