- Quotes
- ‘there was something between them’
- ‘Denying his help, any possibility of making amends, was his punishment. The unexpectedly freezing water that caused her to gasp was his punishment…. Drowning herself would be his punishment’
- ‘loved to cuddle the baby of the family’
- ‘her parents were absent in their different ways, Briony was lost to her fantasise and Leon was in town. Now it was time for her to move on. She needed an adventure’
- ‘normally, she would have taken control of a situation like this'
- ‘she moved restlessly up and down the room’
- ‘Cecilia’s repeated suggestion that it was Danny Hardman they should be talking to was heard in silence. It was understandable, though poor form, that this young woman should be covering for her friend by casting suspicion on an innocent boy’
- ‘she had cut herself off from her family. She would never speak to her parents, brother or sister again’
- ‘They turned on you, all of them, even my father. When they wrecked your life they wrecked mine. They chose to believe the evidence of a silly, hysterical little girl…I can never forgive what they did’
- ‘I’ll wait for you. Come back’
- ‘There isn’t going to be an appeal just because five years on you’ve decided to tell the truth’
- ‘I won’t ever forgive you’
- ‘What’s stopping you? You’ve had five years. Why haven’t you been?'
