Summary | Grace Marks is serving a life sentence in the Kingston Penitentiary for her part in the murder of her employer and his mistress in 1843. She claims that she cannot remember anything about the murders, so Dr. Simon Jordan, an expert in the new field of mental illness, is engaged to review her case. He listens to the account of her life, slowly bringing her closer to the day of the murders. The story she tells grows more and more alarming and baffling as Jordan tries to reveal the hidden layers of her memory. Winner of the 1996 Giller Prize. 1996. |
