Atonement

De: Ian McEwan

Narrado por: Harriet Walter

Brought to you by Penguin.

This new audio edition of Ian McEwan’s beloved modern classic is narrated by Olivier Award winner and Emmy nominee Harriet Walter, who starred as Emily Tallis in the Academy Award-winning film adaptation of Atonement. Her recent credits range from The Crown to Succession and Ted Lasso.

On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her sister Cecilia plunge naked into the fountain in the garden of their country house.

Watching her too is Robbie Turner 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 Cecilia will have crossed a boundary they had not even imagined at its start. Briony will have witnessed mysteries, and committed a crime for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to atone.

'This new recording of Atonement is exquisitely read by the Succession actor Harriet Walter […] McEwan pulls off a bold narrative trick that causes the listener to question the foundations of his storytelling and the nature of fiction' The Guardian

'The best thing he has ever written' Observer

‘Atonement is a masterpiece’ The Times
