SUMMARY:SPL Book Club: Award-Winning Books
DESCRIPTION:Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood • Selected by Laura Watson \nWinner: Giller Prize (1996) \n“Alias Grace has all the pacing of a commercial novel and all the resonance of a classic.” –The Washington Post Book World \nFind Alias Grace in MILS \n“It’s 1843\, and Grace Marks has been convicted for her involvement in the vicious murders of her employer and his housekeeper and mistress. \nSome believe Grace is innocent; others think her evil or insane. Now serving a life sentence\, Grace claims to have no memory of the murders. An up-and-coming expert in the burgeoning field of mental illness is engaged by a group of reformers and spiritualists who seek a pardon for Grace. He listens to her story while bringing her closer and closer to the day she cannot remember. What will he find in attempting to unlock her memories?” –From the publisher’s website \nEleven readers chose 11 books\, and they will lead 11 discussions in 2026. The SPL book club meets the fourth Monday of every month at 6:30pm on Zoom. There are two exceptions: there is no discussion in August when the book club takes a summer break\, and the last meeting is bumped up to the second Monday\, December 14\, to minimize scheduling conflicts around the holidays. New readers—near and far—are always welcome. To sign up for the book club email list\, please send a request to the email below.
