This classic novel of Margaret Atwood is now a televised mini-series, but I really had to read the book before I start watching it. This fascinating historical fiction novel is a psychological profile based on the true story of Grace Marks, the woman convicted of a double homicide in 1843.

I was very impressed with this book when I read it the first time round and again when we did it with the book group. I think it is based on a true story about a boy and his mother being trapped in one room in a bunker with no means of escape or so they think at the time. with a lot of cunning and effort they eventually manage to escape the room and return to a normal lifestyle or as normal as possible.

Law school sucks. The end.

While I liked the characters overall and I did feel a tad sorry for them, I didn't gain much else from this book. It's predictable and somewhat boring. I only finished reading it just to say that I had.

I've heard so many good things about Grisham, but I definitely would not place this one at the top of a list. However, I'm not going to judge the author based on one book. There are always hits and misses somewhere.
