Synopsis
By the author of The Handmaid's Tale.
Sometimes I whisper it over to myself: Murderess. Murderess. It rustles, like a taffeta skirt along the floor.' Grace Marks. Female fiend? Femme fatale? Or weak and unwilling victim.
Written around the true story of one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of the 1840's, Margaret Atwood has created an extraordinarily potent tale of sexuality, cruelty and mystery.
The year is 1843 and Grace Marks has been arrested and convicted for her alleged involvement in two murders. she is only 16 years old and will spend the next 29 years incarcerated.
If we were all on trial for our thoughts, we would all be hanged.

'The outstanding novelist of our age' - Sunday Times.
'A sensuous, perplexing book, at once sinister and dignified, grubby and gorgeous, panoramic yet specific . . . I don't think I have ever been so thrilled' - Julie Myerson, Independent on Sunday.
