| July Book Club Selection: Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
The Library Readers Book Club selection for July is Canadian author Margaret Atwood’s prize-winning novel Alias Grace, based on real-life character, Grace Marks, who at age fifteen was sentenced to death for her part in the murder of her employer and his mistress. Although her sentence was changed to life imprisonment, many thought that she should have died on the gallows along with her co-conspirator. Thus, Grace Marks became a "celebrated murderess" and an infamous enigma of the nineteenth century. Offering no simple solutions to this ongoing mystery, Atwood’s prose will have readers laughing one minute and weeping the next. Extra copies are available at the library. Pick one up and prepare to join the Readers Club to share reactions to this intriguing work.
