Je to jen svědomí, co nutí člověka stále znovu a znovu zpytovat duši, anebo existuje cosi mnohem hlubšího, kam obyčejný smrtelník nedosáhne, ale o čem jen tuší, že číhá vyrazit každým okamžikem do útoku? Ve svém doposud posledním románu Pokání dovedl Ian McEwan tuto myšlenku k dokonalosti. Třináctiletá Briony odvíjí svůj život v jistých představách, které ji mají neomylně dovést ke konkrétnímu, jasně vytyčenému cíli.
