      abstract = {Ian McEwan's adaptation traces the evolution of twentieth-century fiction from modernist a morality to post modern relativism and unifies their common recognition of narrative subjectivity. But the novel uses these forms of subjectivity and moves beyond them as part of an ethically engaged study of memory and history. On the other hand, McEwan's author character Briony fails to ethically grapple with historical memory, but comforts actual historical memory. McEwan's novel itself, which holds Briony's work at a critical distance, offers no consolation. Rather, it creates an experience where readers must move past Briony's short comings and embrace a more nuanced acceptance of the trauma, war damage and gender violence of history: a way to truly do justice to historical memory.
