"Искупление" — это поразительная в своей искренности "хроника утраченного времени", которую ведет девочка-подросток, на свой причудливый и по-детски жестокий лад переоценивая и переосмысливая события "взрослой" жизни. Став свидетелем изнасилования, она трактует его по-своему — и приводит в действие цепочку роковых событий, которая аукнется самым неожиданным образом через много лет.
On a cold February day, two old friends, Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday, reunite outside a crematorium to honor Molly Lane, their former lover. Clive is now a renowned composer, while Vernon serves as the editor of a prestigious newspaper.
