Descriptions du produit

Ingram

This beautifully crafted work of the imagination takes readers back in time and into the life of one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of the nineteenth century, Grace Marks, convicted for her involvement in the vicious murders of her employer and his mistress. "Atwood's latest literary coup is, like the biblical account of Eve's fall from grace, first and foremost a hell of a good story."--The San Francisco Chronicle.


From the Publisher

"Alias Grace has all the pacing of a commercial novel and all the resonance of a classic."
--Washington Post Book World

"A stunning novel full of sly wit, compassion and insight, boasting writing that is lyrical, assured, evocative of time and place, and seductive in its power to engage us."
--Houston Chronicle

"Atwood provides the elements of a walloping good read: suspense, mystery, titillation, and a fully crafted but never ponderous historical milieu."
--St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Villain or victim, Atwood's Grace is intriguing company."
--People

"A shadowy, fascinating novel."
--Time

5.0étoiles sur 5 Best Atwood Book so far, Fév 15 2002
Par Un client
This is by far the best Atwood book I've ever read. I've also read her latest, THE BLIND ASSASSIN, and it's not as good.

She's wonderful at bulding up her characters slowly so that you can empathize with them. You can't know from this novel what her true intentions are, yet you can form a quick opinion quickly and change it just as fast.

I don't need to explain what this book is about, because you can just read it in the editorial review section.

This book will leave you sleepless ~

5.0étoiles sur 5 An Absolutely Fantastic Book, Nov. 22 2002
Par Un client
This review is from: Alias Grace (Paperback)
Alias Grace is an extremely well written, very entertaining tale of murder and deception. Although the story was hard to follow at times because of the changing time periods and narrators, the shifting only added to the wonderful sense of mystery and intrigue in this novel.

I couldn't put the book down, the suspense was wonderfully executed.

This book is not only entertaining and a source of unique Canadian history, but Atwood cleverly relates many themes of the period novel back to our modern society; reflecting on issues such as stereotypes and sex roles.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Not Atwood's best, Sep 7 2002
Par Un client
This review is from: Alias Grace (Paperback)
This is not Atwood's best book by a long stretch. 'The Handmaids Tale', 'the Robber Bride', and the especially exquisite 'The Blind Assassin' are much more enjoyable. This book is slow, and does not have the wonderful turns of phrase that her other books have.
While she does a good job of leaving the reader guessing as to the guilt or innocence of Grace, the question, of course, cannot be answered (being a true story) and leaves you disappointed. The prelude to the crime (Grace's history) is the best part of the book.
