Search - Alias Grace

Without the mesmerizing plot of _The Handmaid's Tale_, this novel is a bit more difficult to get into. However, once you're introduced to the character, see how she presents herself, and then hear of her heinous crime, you'll want to read more.

Atwood made me question the strategy of victimhood throughout this novel: If you *are* guilty, do you keep quiet and play the victim of wrong place/wrong time? If you're not, do you remain silent for the same reason?

I felt unsatisfied with the ending, but you'll have to read it to judge for yourself. After all, there is a whole lot of judging going on in this novel. Recommended for a literary novel fan with a strong stomach.

Had a hard time getting into it.

If you like Margaret Atwood, you'll love this book. Especially unique.

the story of Grace Marks a notorious and enigmatic women of the 19th century. She was convicted for her involvment in the vicious murders of her meployer, the wealthy Thomans Kinnear and his mistress Nancy Montgomery. Now serving a life sentence Grace herself claims to have no memory of the murders.
