However, in Alias Grace, Atwood says that she has changed her opinion of Marks, having read more widely and discovered that Moodie had fabricated parts of her third-hand account of the murders.Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace tells the true story of an Irish immigrant who worked as a household maid in the mid-1800s and was later convicted of murder. Although set in another era, it speaks specifically and almost uncannily to today's audiences. Subsequently, Atwood wrote the 1974 CBC Television film The Servant Girl about Marks, also based on Susanna Moodie's account. It became a classic of Canadian literature, as it lyrically evokes the experience of life in the wilderness, immigrant life, and colonial times. In 1970, Atwood published The Journals of Susanna Moodie, a cycle of poems informed by the published works of Moodie. Ītwood first encountered the story of Marks in Life in the Clearings Versus the Bush by Susanna Moodie. While Jordan is ostensibly conducting research into criminal behaviour, he slowly becomes personally involved in the Marks story and seeks to reconcile his perception of the mild-mannered woman he sees with the murder of which she has been convicted. Īlthough the novel is based on factual events, Atwood constructs a narrative with a fictional doctor, Simon Jordan, who researches the case. McDermott was hanged and Marks was sentenced to life imprisonment. Two servants of the Kinnear household, Grace Marks and James McDermott, were convicted of the crime. The story fictionalizes the notorious 1843 murders of Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper Nancy Montgomery in Canada West.
