About this listen

On the hottest day in 1935, and on the brink of a world war, three children lose their innocence as the sweltering summer heat bears down and their lives are changed forever. Cecilia Tallis is of England's privileged class; Robbie Turner is the housekeeper's son. In their moment of intimate surrender, they are interrupted by Cecilia's hyper-imaginative and scheming 13-year-old sister, Briony. As chaos consumes the family, Briony commits a crime, the guilt of which she shall carry throughout her life.

Atonement is a story with emotional intensity and a gripping plot, brilliant and utterly enthralling in its depiction of childhood, love, war, England, and class. The novel is a profoundly moving exploration of shame, forgiveness, and the difficulty of absolution.

My daughter used this audio book to help her understand the material when reading the physical book at the same time. She got SO frustrated because before she even got half way through the book the audio skipped at least 10 sections. Entire sections not just a few sentences which leads me to ask, why would Audible allow this to happen?

Disappointed that the audio didn't match the book
