ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood tells the fictionalized story of Grace Marks, a young housemaid convicted of murder in 1843. The novel explores the complexities of truth, memory, and identity as a doctor, Simon Jordan, attempts to uncover the truth about the crime. As Dr. Jordan delves into Grace's story through interviews and a hypnotic session, he struggles with her shifting narratives and his own emotional involvement. The story examines how narratives are shaped by personal perspectives and social expectations. The narrative also portrays the challenges faced by women in the 19th century. The book presents a narrative filled with fragmented memories, conflicting accounts and social commentary that questions the nature of truth itself.
