Margaret Atwood never ceases to amaze. She pumps out incredibly well-written books at an incredible rate and with nuance and variety. Alias Grace is based on an historic murder in the author's Canada in the 1800s. Not only is this a compelling mystery but it takes the reader right into those times. Every word is so carefully chosen for authenticity. I felt transported into the body of Grace and her bonnets. I lived in the prison chair where she carefully sewed dresses for the Governor's daughter while explaining her story to the alienist, our modern version of a psychiatrist. Thank you Margaret Atwood for sharing your gift with the world.
