The bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments reveals the life of one of the most notorious women of the nineteenth century in this shadowy, fascinating novel ( Time ). - A Netflix original miniseries. It's 1843, and Grace Marks has been convicted for her involvement in the vicious murders of her employer and his housekeeper and mistress. Some believe Grace is innocent; others think her evil or insane. Now serving a life sentence, Grace 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 Grace. 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? Captivating and disturbing, Alias Grace showcases bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author Margaret Atwood at the peak of her powers.

    I have been meaning to read Alias Grace for years. Margaret Atwood is an amazing storyteller with an attention to detail that never leaves you hanging. From the Handmaid's Tale to her latest work, Oryx and Crake, she uses science, history, and understanding of human nature to bring a plethora of memorable characters to life.
