On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her sister Cecilia strip off her clothes and
plunge 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, as Briony commits a crime for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to
atone.
This week's book is Atonement by Ian McEwan and we'll be meeting at Ye Olde Cocke on Wilmslow Road in Didsbury — contact us for details.
