In 1843, Grace Marks, a 16-year-old girl, becomes involved in the murder of her employer, Thomas Kinnear, and his housekeeper, Nancy Montgomery. James McDermott, the stable boy, is sentenced to death, but Grace receives a life sentence. Grace claims amnesia during the crimes, which prevents a clear version of the events. Years later, Dr. Simon Jordan tries to unravel Grace's memories, using new techniques. Margaret Atwood creates a portrait of 19th-century society, exploring the complexities of the human mind and social contradictions.
