Alias Grace is an authentically stimulating but also disturbing novel printed in 1996 and written by the Canadian novelist, poet, essayist and literary critic Margaret Atwood. It won the Canadian Giller Prize and was considered for the Booker Prize. The story is set in Canada and one of the main details that turns this novel to be so addictive is the fact that Atwood decides to portray on a story based on veracious facts about a murderess of the 1940’s. However, this story has to be considered as a fiction because there are many parts that are inventions of Atwood’s imagination, she alleged that as many versions were provided she had to choose the more suitable and fulfil the unknown aspects. Grace Marks, the main character, was accused of taking part in the murders of her employer, Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper and mistress Nancy Montgomery, who was pregnant. She was tried not by committing the crime by herself but by being James McDermott helper, the actual killer. The novel relates how she immigrated from Ireland with her family and soon starts working as a domestic servant; also, how her mother and her best friend Mary Whitney die, (which affects her emotionally for her entire life), the way she is hired by Mr Kinnear and how she gets involved into sexual tension among the members of the house which causes an unlucky ending for three of their four lives being McDermott hanged after condemned to death sentence; also, details about Grace’s life in prison are
