Dr. Simon Jordan, an up-and-coming expert in the burgeoning field of mentalillness, is engaged by a group of reformers and spiritualists who seek a pardonfor Grace. He listens to her story, from her family's difficult passage out ofIreland into Canada, to her time as a maid in Thomas Kinnear's household. As hebrings Grace closer and closer to the day she cannot remember, he hears of theturbulent relationship between Kinnear and Nancy Montgomery, and of thealarming behavior of Grace's fellow servant, James McDermott. Jordan is drawnto Grace, but he is also baffled by her. What will he find in attempting tounlock her memories? Is Grace a female fiend, a bloodthirsty femmefatale? Or is she a victim of circumstances?
Alias Grace is a beautifully crafted work of the imagination thatreclaims a profoundly mysterious and disturbing story from the past century.With compassion, an unsentimental lyricism, and her customary narrativevirtuosity, Margaret Atwood mines the often convoluted relationships betweenmen and women, and between the affluent and those without position. The resultis her most captivating, disturbing, and ultimately satisfying work sinceThe Handmaid's Tale--in short, vintage Atwood.
