Özet

When her husband is suddenly killed in a car accident, the widowed Milly Bott is surprised to find that he has left her only a small fraction of his wealth, bequeathing the rest to a charity for fallen women, with the cryptic note that ‘my wife will know why’. From that moment she knows that her late husband must have known about her clandestine affair.

Milly tries to find ways in which to atone for her ‘sin’, while navigating the prejudices and preconceptions of the various members of the Bott family, eager to protect its good family name.

Published in 1929, Expiation is one of von Arnim’s lesser-known novels, but one in which she targets the narrow-minded and often hypocritical values of middle-class society of the time. Although the book confronts serious issues, threads of von Arnim’s dry humour run through the narrative as Milly pursues her uneven journey to expiation.

The resilient character of Millie

This book by Elizabeth Von Arnim is so different from "Enchanted April" but it does illustrate the attitudes and limitations of society in a bygone age - how women were dependent on their husbands and what happened to them if they did not "behave" as they were expected to do.
The performance is very good, the differentiation between characters is excellent.
I enjoyed this book, having read "Father" and "Vera" too by same author. Same views applied on those two books too.

Excellent
