Would you hate it if a thirteen-year-old girl ruined your life? Well in this story it happens. In the summer in London, a naïve thirteen-year-old girl named Briony thinks she knows what’s going on around her, but later realizes as she’s growing up, she’s mistaken. Briony thinks Robbie Turner, the gardener, is a sex maniac after reading a letter that Robbie wrote to Cecilia, (Briony’s older sister) about his affections to Cecilia. What Briony doesn’t know is that Cecilia feels the same way about Robbie. At the same night of the discovery of the love letter, at the Tallises house, Lola, Briony’s cousin from the north, is then raped. No one knows who it accepted Briony, but she only thinks she knows who did it. Robbie Turner. Briony then convicts Robbie. Cecilia knows he didn’t do it and isolates herself from her family. Robbie is framed and decides to fight in the war (WWII) instead of prison. The two questions now remain: Who really raped Lola? Do Robbie and Cecilia reunite at the end?
I can’t say much because I’ll ruin the end, but I enjoyed this book because of the love and affection Robbie & Cecilia have for each other. If you enjoy romantic, war, and mystery stories, then this is the book for you; it even shows that this can happen to anyone because this book is based on reality. I’m hoping that other people enjoyed it as much as I did. A little warning though, this story is very descriptive.
