Reviews"Brilliantly realized, intellectually provocative and maddeningly suspenseful." Maclean's "Atwood confirms her status as the outstanding novelist of our age." Sunday Times(U.K.) "Atwood not only crafts an eerie, unsettling tale of murder and obsession, but also a stunning portrait of the lives of women in another time." Kirkus Reviews "A masterpiece…perhaps Atwood's best, most important novel to date." Ottawa Citizen "A great book of such wit, wisdom and dazzling storytelling that it leaves me in no doubt that Atwood is the most outstanding novelist currently writing in English." Sydney Morning Herald "Atwood's humor has never been slyer, her command of complex material more adept, her eroticism franker.…This is a stupendous performance. . . ." Booklist "[Atwood] has surpassed herself, writing with a glittering, singing intensity.…" New York Review of Books "Stunning.…Atwood is in perfect control. And her fusion of real events and fiction is as contemporary as it is ingenious." Calgary Herald "A rare and splendid novel that pulls you in and won't let go.…" Washington Post Book World "Atwood's imaginative control of her period flows, irresistible and superb.…[She] has pushed the art to its extremes and the result is devastating. This, surely, is as far as a novel can go." Independent on Sunday(U.K.) "Seductive, beautifully articulated.…Brilliantly conceived and executed.…" San Francisco Chronicle "Astonishing.…" Financial Post "A sublime read.…As satisfying as the best whodunit." London Free Press "An absorbing and brilliantly told story." Publishers Weekly(starred review)

SynopsisIn this astonishing tour de force, Margaret Atwood takes the reader back in time and into the life and mind of one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of the nineteenth century. In 1843, at the age of sixteen, servant girl Grace Marks was convicted for her part in the vicious murders of her employer and his mistress. Some believe Grace is innocent; others think her evil or insane. Grace herself claims to have no memory of the murders. As Dr. Simon Jordan an expert in the burgeoning field of mental illness tries to unlock her memory, what will he find? Was Grace a femme fatale or a weak and unwilling victim of circumstances? Taut and compelling, penetrating and wise,Alias Graceis a beautifully crafted work of the imagination that vividly evokes time and place. The novel and its characters will continue to haunt the reader long after the final page.
