Recensione:

"Alias Grace has all the pacing of a commercial novel and all the resonance of a classic." —The Washington Post Book World

"Atwood provides the elements of a walloping good read: suspense, mystery, titillation, and a fully crafted but never ponderous historical milieu." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Villain or victim, Atwood's Grace is intriguing company." —People

"A shadowy, fascinating novel." —Time
