Summary
Now a major Netflix series - Atwood's most captivating, disturbing and satisfying work since The Handmaid's Tale.
'Sometimes I whisper it over to myself: Murderess. Murderess. It rustles, like a taffeta skirt along the floor.' (Grace Marks)
Female fiend? Femme fatale? Or weak and unwilling victim? Around the true story of one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of the 1840s, Margaret Atwood has created an extraordinarily potent tale of sexuality, cruelty and mystery.
Sixteen years have passed since teenaged Grace was locked up for the cold-blooded murder of her employer, Thomas Kinnear, and his lover, Nancy Montgomery. Saved from the gallows where her alleged accomplice was hanged, Grace claims to have no memory of the events which changed her life forever.
Dr Simon Jordan is an expert in the field of amnesia. His objective is to unlock the dormant part of Grace's mind and discover the truth behind one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of all time. Was Grace an unwitting accessory or a cold-blooded killer?

Excellent
Much better than the TV version. I found Grace a very bewildering character and I was hooked until the end.

Love this: highly recommended fantastic audio book
Brilliantly read by Sarah Gadon & great to hear Margaret Atwood read the afterword. This has always been one of my favourite books of hers.

Mysterious true crime
I read this book many years ago and it’s been a pleasure to revisit via audio. It was just as good as I remembered and very well read, if slightly soporific in tone.

A gripping tale
I did a mixture of Audible and reading because I just couldn't go a minute without wanting to know what happened next! Consequently I finished this story in days!
First story I have read of Margaret Atwood, and I am now an instant fan! This being based on a true story and me finding this out at the end of the story only added to my love of this story! if you enjoy History, True Crime, a little Romance and some tragedy, this is the perfect book/story for you!

Gripping story.
Great story. Performance at times left me unsure which character was speaking, but this didn't detract too much from the brilliant tale. The narrator made a fantastic Grace and the story gripped me from beginning to end. The only bad point was that I wanted more!
