Alias Grace : a novel
Takes readers into the life and mind of Grace Marks, one of the most notorious women of the 1840s, who is serving a life sentence for murders she claims she cannot remember.
Ce roman, le neuvième de l'auteure canadienne-anglaise, s'inspire d'un sanglant fait divers suivi d'un grand procès qui ont bouleversé le Haut-Canada victorien du 19e siècle (1843). L'héroïne, qui a échappé de peu à la peine capitale, se confie progressivement à un médecin américain et se prête à des séances pré-psychanalytiques. Le suspense se maintient jusqu'aux dernières pages. Au lecteur de juger si Grace Marks fut tentatrice ou victime, complice ou otage. Pour certains critiques cette ambiguïté du personnage principal concerne la femme en général. Et le milieu féministe est déchiré. [SDM].
