"It’s the summer of 1935, and young Briony sees her older sister Cecilia plunge nearly naked into the fountain of their country house, while Robbie Turner, the housekeeper’s son, is watching. From that moment, their lives will never be the same. Atonement is the tragically compelling story of two lovers fallen victims of a young girl’s scheming imagination, and a dreadful crime for which Briony will attempt to atone for the rest of her life."
I loved talking to Orthopaedic Surgeon Derek Ochiai about Ian McEwan's haunting novel Atonement.
We had a wonderful conversation around class, time, trusting narrators, the impossibility of truth, why we rather wish social media could be wiped clean on reaching the age of 18 and how in war the rules all disappear.
