She is Grace. Margaret Etwood

On July 23, 1843, a nightmarish crime occurred in Canada, which still haunts psychologists and forensics. The maid Grace Marx was accused of extremely brutal murder of her master and his pregnant lover-econus. Grace was unusually beautiful and very young - she was not yet 16 years old. The matter was complicated by the fact that she proposed three different versions of the murder, while her accomplice was only two. But he went to the gallows, and she had to spend his whole life in prison and a crazy house - the lawyer managed to prove the jury that she was demented. Grace Marx was released 29 years later. But was she truly crazy? Whose pernicious spirit drew in her body? Who is she - a villain and a temptic, the instigator of the crime and a genuine killer? Or an involuntary sacrifice, forced by threats to silence? The true personality of the historical Grace Marx remains a mystery, a patchwork blanket, a cloud of speculation and sensational speculation. In the novel “She Grace”, the laureate of the Buker Prize Margaret Etwood offers his version of the story of the most famous Canadian criminal.
