Watching her is Robbie Turner, her childhood friend who, like Cecilia, has recently come down from Cambridge. By the end of that day the lives of all three will have been changed for ever. Robbie and Cecelia will have crossed a boundary they had not even imagined at its start, and will have become victims of the younger girl?s imagination. Briony will have witnessed mysteries, and committed a crime for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to atone.* This is a VG+ text copy of the 1st./1st. fnl. with minimal age & shelf wear.*
