She hopes to have her cousins Lola and the twins Jackson and Pierrot enact a play of her devising during a family get-together, but the cast is hopeless. During the day, however, she spies a servant's son, Robbie Turner, apparently making her older sister Cecilia strip, and comes upon an obscene love letter he has written her. Briony's fertile imagination conjures all sorts of awful things, and when her cousin Lola is raped, our heroine is pretty sure she saw Robbie do it. He is sent to prison, much over Cecilia's protests, gets out early to fight in France where he is caught up in the confusion of the retreat at Dunkirk, and over the years matters sort out more or less between the estranged family members.Cecilia in the book"Her breasts wide apart and small...something carved and still about the face, especially around the inclined plates of her cheekbones, with a wild flare to the nostrils, and a full, glistening rosebud mouth. Her eyes were dark and contemplative..."Keira's Quotes"She's a bitch. She starts out very catty, acerbic, almost Bette Davis-esque - very sharp.But she grows into something quite different. It's a nice journey.""We did one scene and Joe and I looked at each other and I said, 'Oh my God, people are going to hate me,' but she won't be like that the whole way through" "Joe thought I should play the middle Briony but I read the script and instantly liked Cecilia. I loved her acerbic quality. I have never done that - she is hiding so much. So we had this big long talk where I was arguing for Briony. We finally decided on Cecilia because she has none of that Elizabeth Bennet vibe."
