	grace on Encyclopedia.com
		A distinction is made between natural grace (e.g., the gift of life) and supernatural grace, by which God makes a person (born sinful because of original sin) capable of enjoying eternal life.
		The apparent difficulty of claiming that grace may be efficacious while a person is free was explained by St. Thomas Aquinas on the ground that it was a peculiar nature of this grace granted to some people that it should be ineluctable; it was this doctrine that Luis Molina and the Molinists disputed.

		The central figure in my novel is Grace Marks, one of the most "celebrated" women of her generation, having been convicted of murder in 1843 at the age of sixteen.
		Grace Marks is serving a life sentence for her part in the vicious murders of Thomas Kinnear, a wealthy land owner who employed her as a maid, and Nancy Montgomery, his housekeeper and mistress.
		For instance, Mary Whitney was the name that appears as Grace's alias in the picture that accompanies her confession, but none of the commentators ever mentions a thing about it.

	Ghost Signs - Alias Grace : A Novel by Margaret Atwood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In 1843, a 16-year-old Canadian housemaid named Grace Marks was tried for the murder of her employer and his mistress.
		In real-life, when she was released, Grace had to fill out a final questionnaire, in which she was asked, "What has been the general cause of your misfortunes and what has been the immediate cause of the crime for which you have been sent to the Penitentiary?"
		Grace Marks has ten stories, as do any of us, and one of the book's problems is it's determination to tell each one and that of the poor plumber who lives down the street besides.

		Grace's story is told on several levels: chronologically, through her recollections; retrospectively, through the doctor's thoughts and actions; and medically, through his letters and reports by other observers.

		In the novel Alias Grace, author Margaret Atwood retells the story of Grace Marks, a real nineteenth-century Canadian woman who was accused of and spent thirty years in jail for the murder of two people.
		In real life, Grace Marks, a sixteen-year-old Irish immigrant, was sentenced to life imprisonment for her role (which was never fully defined) in the murder of her employer, Thomas Kinnear, and his housekeeper, Nancy Montgomery.

		The true story of Grace Marks has been told and retold over the years, but never as powerfully as in Margaret Atwood's new novel, "Alias Grace," recently shortlisted for Britain's Booker Prize.
		The story revolves around these meetings: Grace tells her story in her coy, perfunctory manner, and he scribbles notes, occasionally pulling out objects — a fresh apple, a candlestick — that might trigger a memory and reveal the truth.
		Both Grace and Simon are looking for their own truth, which, we ultimately discover, is ghostly, elusive — nothing the doctor can write neatly in his little ledger for himself or for her, or for posterity.

		I figured it couldn't have been him--otherwise you wouldn't have had the steamy element of the story, with Thomas Kinnear having a mistress who was his housekeeper, and some people feeling that he was also flirting with Grace.
		DR: Grace often felt that people were curious about her less because she was a "celebrated murderess" than McDermott's "paramour." What role did the Victorian attitude towards sex play in her treatment?
		People would go to the prison and say, "Here I am, and I'd like to see Grace Marks." And she would be trotted out for them to look at.

		If the prolific Canadian novelist, poet and critic — perhaps best known for the 1984 novel "The Handmaid's Tale," made into a film in 1990 — was not born with her regal demeanor, she has certainly earned it by now, and her formidable talents only seem to be growing stronger.
		Her new book, "Alias Grace," is her first historical novel, based on a famous Torontonian maidservant, Grace Marks, who, in 1843, may or may not have participated in the murder of her employer and his housekeeper.
		Atwood's life-long penchant for misbehaving female characters takes a more mysterious turn with Grace, however; the servant's actual guilt remains maddeningly hard to pin down.

		Margrett is able to utilize the ambiguity and mysticism of a dream like state to allow the reader to come to his/her own conclusion on what is being said to the reader.
		This passage from Alias Grace meets the first criteria by being well organized and flowing well, Atwood really keeps her focus upon the mood she is trying to establish.
		The support and setup for this dream comes earlier as Grace says how she longs for the meetings between her and Dr. Jordan.
