“At the age of eleven she, Briony wrote her first story - a foolish affair, imitative of half a dozen folktales and lacking, she realized later, the vital knowingness about the ways of the world which compels a reader’s aspect. But this first clumsy attempt showed her the imagination itself was a source of secrets: once she had begun a story, no one could be told.” -Atonement, Ian McEwan
