Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood

It's 1843, and Grace Marks has been convicted for her involvement in the vicious murders of her employer, Thomas Kinnear, and Nancy Montgomery, his housekeeper and mistress. Some believe Grace is innocent; others think her evil or insane. Now serving a life sentence, she claims to have no memory of the murders. An up-and-coming expert in the burgeoning field of mental illness is engaged by a group of reformers and spiritualists who seek a pardon for her. He listens to her story while bringing her closer and closer to the day she cannot remember. What will he find in attempting to unlock her memories? Is Grace a bloodthirsty criminal--or a victim of circumstance? Based on an actual case, Alias Grace is a captivating, disturbing, and unforgettable novel that showcases Margaret Atwood at the peak of her powers.
