It took me some time to warm up to "Alias Grace," but once it grabbed me, it didn't let go. A fantastic blend of historical events and fiction gives us a vivid depiction of Western countries in the mid-19th century. The material is exceptionally well-researched, brimming with details. I particularly enjoyed the combination of perspectives, illustrating how viewing events through the eyes of a character can be an unreliable portrayal of the story. The use of letters and excerpts from historical documents as narrative drivers was intriguing. I understand the necessity of dream sequences to demonstrate the growing interest in dreams at that time, but personally found them tedious and unnecessary. I'm glad Grace received hers, as much as possible, happy ending. Dr. Jordan ultimately came off as slimy, and it's fitting that he ended up under his mother's control.
