Résumé :
Grace Marks does not come from a moneyed background, and she lacks the respectability or formal education to get anything more respectable than a housemaid’s position. Not long after her arrival in Canada from Ireland, she finds employment with Nancy Montgomery and winds up regretting it when the authorities come knocking on her door, claiming Grace murdered her. Several years following her conviction, Grace spills her life’s story to Dr. Simon Jordan, a medical doctor exploring the realm of mental illness. Perhaps he is the only one who will ever be able to unlock the secrets Grace has kept stored for so long in Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace.
