Soon to be a Netflix Original series, Alias Grace takes listeners into the life of one of the most notorious women of the 19th century.

It's 1843, and Grace Marks has been convicted for her involvement in the vicious murders of her employer and his housekeeper and mistress. Some believe Grace is innocent; others think her evil or insane. Now serving a life sentence, Grace claims to have no memory of the murders.

An up-and-coming expert in the burgeoning field of mental illness is engaged by a group of reformers and spiritualists who seek a pardon for Grace. He listens to her story while bringing her closer and closer to the day she cannot remember. What will he find in attempting to unlock her memories?

Captivating and disturbing, Alias Grace showcases best-selling, Booker Prize-winning author Margaret Atwood at the peak of her powers.

A hard listen

This book follows the movie almost completely…no need to listen if read the book. There are no new facts here. The narrator is ok but the epilogue by Atwood is terrible to get through. She has zero emotion in her voice and is suited to book writing, which she is good at

Excellent book, narration only ok

The book is fantastic. I enjoyed the narrator when she played the role of Grace in the Netflix series but as a narrator she has problems.

She mispronounces many words. Shone, untoward, lethargy, "bed cloths" instead of bed clothes. It's really distracting.

Her voice is quite nice though. I think it could have been fine but for the pronunciation problems.

Excellent!

I don’t normally like anything by Margaret Atwood but this was excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely recommend it!
