En este impresionante tour de force narrativo, Margaret Atwood nos invita a compartir la vida íntima de una de las figuras femeninas más populares del siglo XIX en Canadá. Grace Marks, de dieciséis años, es declarada cómplice de participar en los asesinatos de Thomas Kinnear y Nancy Montgomery, y condenada a cadena perpetua. Años más tarde, un grupo de reformistas contrata al doctor Simon Jordan para obtener el indulto de Grace. A partir de las nuevas técnicas empleadas en Europa, el joven médico entrevista a la reclusa, quien le relata los pormenores de su historia. En su empeño para interpretar la confesión de Grace, el doctor Jordan irá desvelando los luctuosos sucesos de aquel día y dictaminará si Grace Marks es en verdad una femme fatale o, simplemente, una víctima de las circunstancias y los prejuicios sociales dominantes. Una historia subyugante, en la que la imagen de los quilts simboliza la multiplicidad de caras de Alias Grace y las verdades que ésta ejemplifica.
