Review: A must read classic! - Book Review: Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood: "Sometimes I whisper it over to myself: Murderess. Murderess. It rustles, like a taffeta skirt along the floor." -Grace Marks. The story fictionalises the notorious 1843 murders of Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper Nancy Montgomery by two servants of the household, Grace Marks and James McDermott. McDermott was hanged but Grace escaped the gallows and sentenced to life imprisonment. She also spent some years in an asylum after an emotional breakdown. She gave three different accounts of the killings whereas McDermott gave two. The whole incident stayed a mistery and Grace an enigma. The author has taken a fragment of thread from the reality and created another thread of narrative with a fictional doctor, Simon Jordan, who researches the case, and has tried to fill the terrible gaps of reality with fiction, and the end result is a beautiful patchwork quilt. The book gives a clear picture regarding the state of the oppressed lower class especially the lesser sex during that period. The lasting impression for me is the trauma and pain suffered by Grace while emigrating, which began at the ship and ended nowhere. The book is writing in multiple narration and quilt is a particularly apt metaphor of the various narrative perspectives. Quilt is the running theme of the book as each chapter is named after a quilt pattern and there is also illustration of the respective pattern; and Grace kept quilting while sharing her story throughout the book. Sometimes a book has an inbuilt character which keeps you longing for more, which keeps you feeling unsorted, perturbed, unfulfilled, yet somewhat satisfied; Alias Grace is that book, a 560 page long conundrum, which is bound to haunt you long after you turn the last pages. Review: Atta-girl! - Based on a true murder committed sometime in the mid-18th century, its a masterful recreation of the crime. The characterization is nothing short of brilliant. At this rate, I will soon have quite a stack of "Atwood's books. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #533,265 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,996 in Historical Fiction (Books) #10,069 in Crime, Thriller & Mystery (Books) #11,865 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Country of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (11,518) | | Dimensions | 13.1 x 3.7 x 19.7 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1860492592 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1860492594 | | Item Weight | 435 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 560 pages | | Publication date | 16 August 2001 | | Publisher | Little, Brown Book Group | ## Images ![ALIAS GRACE (REISSUE) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AbK1ZUFrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read classic! *by R***A on 24 January 2020* Book Review: Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood: "Sometimes I whisper it over to myself: Murderess.
