A fictionalized account of Grace Marks, a maid who murdered her employer and his mistress in Canada in 1843. A stablehand who was her accomplice and who claimed she put him up to it was hung for the crime, while she ended up in a lunatic asylum. The novel analyzes the question: was she actually less guilty, crazy, or smarter?

Not a favorite

The case itself and the way it's been fictionalized was interesting. However, the story staged along and I found myself skipping over parts of it without the feeling of missing something important. Maybe Margaret Atwood is just not for me.
