On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner, the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia. He hopes that Cecilia has comparable feelings. All it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust. When it does, Briony - who has a crush on Robbie, is compelled to interfere. She goes so far as to accuse Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and Robbie declare their love for each other, but, ultimately, he is arrested. Briony bears false witness and the course of three lives is changed forever. As Briony grow older, she continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love. 630 00 Atonement (Motion picture : 2007) 650 0 Atonement|vDrama. 650 0 Sisters|zEngland|vDrama. 650 0 False testimony|zEngland|vDrama. 650 0 Man-woman relationships|zEngland|vDrama. 650 0 Motion picture plays. 690 Scripts. 700 1 McEwan, Ian.|tAtonement. 946 PFA PN1997.A866H35 2007.
