Hear from the authors
All the same, Murderess is a strong word to have attached to you. It has a smell to it, that word—musky and oppressive, like dead flowers in a vase. Sometimes at night I whisper it over to myself: Murderess, Murderess. It rustles, like a taffeta skirt across the floor. – Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction, 1997
