In Alias Grace, bestselling author Margaret Atwood has written her most captivating, disturbing, and ultimately satisfying work since The Handmaid's Tale. She takes us back in time and into the life of one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of the nineteenth century.
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, Grace claims to have no memory of the murders.
Dr. Simon Jordan, 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? Is Grace a female fiend? A bloodthirsty femme fatale? Or is she the victim of circumstances?

My favourite Atwood novel so far. Haunting and memorable. Excellent in plot, characterization, language and observation.

被故事中的若干巨大疑团驱使，几乎是手不释卷，不眠不休地读完了小说的后半部，却没有找到哪怕是一个疑团的答案。这虽然让人有些意犹未尽，但阅读体验还是称得上“过瘾”——除了她一贯的精巧结构和优雅语言外，阿特伍德対史料的详实研究，对笔下人物的怜悯与关怀，对19世纪南安大略社会风貌栩栩如生的呈现令人肃然起敬。

一位19世纪加拿大底层女性的自述，像开了个小小的猫眼，让我们看到那一个特定的年代的视野不广的人的世界（但这样的个人视角弥足珍贵啊）：女仆的日常工作，越洋的移民，那个年代对男女的双标和伪善，然后文学的魔力就是不仅能让我们看到风土人情还能看到这位女性细碎的想法她最珍贵的记忆和思维模式，真的感觉遇到了位那个年代的女性；读起来感觉真的是心碎，那个年代的女性太不容易了男权世界满满的恶意，但女性间的连接和情感... 一位19世纪加拿大底层女性的自述，像开了个小小的猫眼，让我们看到那一个特定的年代的视野不广的人的世界（但这样的个人视角弥足珍贵啊）：女仆的日常工作，越洋的移民，那个年代对男女的双标和伪善，然后文学的魔力就是不仅能让我们看到风土人情还能看到这位女性细碎的想法她最珍贵的记忆和思维模式，真的感觉遇到了位那个年代的女性；读起来感觉真的是心碎，那个年代的女性太不容易了男权世界满满的恶意，但女性间的连接和情感真的太动人了，是整个灰暗小说里的光，最后女主做了个缝着自己和她生命中印象最深刻的女性的被子：活泼大胆开朗相信平等罩着她带着她做游戏却因为被骗怀孕死亡的玛丽（玛丽太好了），美丽动人拉着她玩有些不服仆人身份的南希，女主这么做也相当于是通过被子和讲述她们三个的故事让她们在一起吧而不是像现实中一样悲剧 (展开)
