Published by McClelland & Stewart, this first printing of the first Canadian edition of Alias Grace is one of the most significant Canadian literary novels of the 1990s. The novel won the Giller Prize. Based on the true historical case of Grace Marks, an Irish immigrant servant convicted at sixteen of the murders of her employer Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper Nancy Montgomery in Upper Canada in 1843, the novel follows Grace as she recounts her life to Dr. Simon Jordan, a visiting physician tasked with assessing her mental state. Margaret Atwood draws on court records, newspaper accounts, and the writings of Susanna Moodie to construct a layered and morally complex narrative. The cover reproduces Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Head of a Girl in a Green Dress. Ships within Canada. International orders welcome through AbeBooks.
