Na tarde mais quente do verão de 1935, na Inglaterra, a adolescente Briony Tallis vê uma cena que vai atormentar a sua imaginação: sua irmã mais velha, sob o olhar de um amigo de infância, tira a roupa e mergulha, apenas de calcinha e sutiã, na fonte do quintal da casa de campo. A partir desse episódio e de uma sucessão de equívocos, a menina, que nutre a ambição de ser escritora, constrói uma história fantasiosa sobre uma cena que presencia. Comete um crime com efeitos devastadores na vida de toda a família e passa o resto de sua existência tentando desfazer o mal que causou.

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.
