One of our most distinguished thinkers argues that the 'rise of the rest' is the great story of our time. ![]() ![]() Tapa dura con sobrecubierta de editorial ilustrada. ![]()

The narrator, Briony, turns out to be a 77-year-old successful writer who describes the tragic mistake that she made in her childhood and the fictitious course of events that allowed her to atone for that mistake. The fourth part is the postscript set in 1999 London, in which it is revealed that the events of the preceding two sections of the novel have never happened in real life. ![]() The novel is divided into four parts, each taking place in a different period: 1935 England, France, and England during the Second World War, and present-day England. ![]() ![]() “Just let us know when you’ve got work for us.
