The play, for which Briony had designed the posters, programmes and tickets, constructed the sales booth out of a folding screen tipped on its side, and lined the collection box in red crepe paper, was written by her in a two-day tempest of composition, causing her to miss a breakfast and a lunch.

Briony, une adolescente surprend Robbie, celui qu'elle aime en secret, dans les bras de sa soeur aînée et décide de se venger. Quoi de mieux qu'une accusation de viol qui va envoyer Robbie en prison? Dans la seconde partie du roman, Robbie est soldat et participe à la Seconde Guerre mondiale et Briony cherche par tous les moyens à expier ce crime qu'elle a commis cinq ans auparavant (en 1935). L'expiation sera "lonGue et douloureuse" (A. Clavel). Recommandé. [SDM].

Work Description
Atonement is a 2001 British metafiction novel written by Ian McEwan. Set in three time periods, 1935 England, Second World War England and France, and present-day England, it covers an upper-class girl's half-innocent mistake that ruins lives, her adulthood in the shadow of that mistake, and a reflection on the nature of writing.
Widely regarded as one of McEwan's best works, it was shortlisted for the 2001 Booker Prize for fiction. In 2010, Time magazine named Atonement in its list of the 100 greatest English-language novels since 1923.
