About
this
Book:
A
decade
and
a
half
has
passed
since
Grace
was
locked
up,
at
the
age
of
16,
for
the
cold-blooded
murders
of
her
employer
Thomas
Kinnear
and
his
housekeeper/lover
Nancy
Montgomery.
Her
alleged
accomplice,
James
McDermot,
was
hanged
in
1843.
Now,
Dr
Simon
Jordan
attempts
to
uncover
the
truth.
'Sometimes
I
whisper
it
over
to
myself:
Murderess.
Murderess.
It
rustles,
like
a
taffeta
skirt
along
the
floor.'
Grace
Marks.
Female
fiend?
Femme
fatale?
Or
weak
and
unwilling
victim?
Around
the
true
story
of
one
of
the
most
enigmatic
and
notorious
women
of
the
1840s,
Margaret
Atwood
has
created
an
extraordinarily
potent
tale
of
sexuality,
cruelty
and
mystery.
'A
sensuous,
perplexing
book,
at
once
sinister
and
dignified,
grubby
and
gorgeous,
panoramic
yet
specific...I
don't
think
I
have
ever
been
so
thrilled...This,
surely
is
as
far
as
a
novel
can
go'

'Oh
brilliant!
I
cannot
rave
enough...with
its
explosive
mixture
of
sex,
murder
and
class
conflict, Alias
Grace is
an
absolute
winner'
