Alias Grace
2 journalers for this copy...
Haven't read it yet, but just preparing it in case I get a chance to release it on an upcoming business trip.
Edit:
Alias Grace is a fictional look at the life of a celebrated Canadian murderess of the 19th Century. I enjoyed it, particularly the way certain events in the doctor's life strangely mirrored those of Grace. Excellent capture of the historical era, and Atwood does a marvellous job giving individual voices to the characters (bits of the novel are epistolary).

Thanks to Nightguant. My wife picked this book up at the Convention Center in Orlando during our visit there a few days back. I just finished reading the book and my wife will start reading it sometime soon. So, I guess the status should be between "to be read" and "available".
I always wanted to read a canadian authored book and i got hold of this at the right time. The book was a fantastic read. The english style in this book is something that I have not come across before and i should say it has the longest sentences in english i have ever come across. It is based on a true story, with some author's invention here and there, and happened in a place called Richmond Hill (Ontario, Canada) where we often visit. That made the street names and cities cited in the novel very familiar and gave a kind of personal touch. I have a strong recommendation for this book to be read.
We will likely release the book soon somewhere in Waterloo, ON, or may be Europe in June.
Cheers!
