A splendidly eccentric debut novel, The Infamous G A splendidly eccentric debut novel, The Infamous Gilberts by Angela Tomaski tells the story of the once illustrious Gilbert family through the eyes of their elderly retainer, Maximus. Welcoming the reader as a curious visitor, Maximus takes us to Thornwalk, the now deserted and decaying family estate, his final tour before relinquishing the keys to the inevitable luxury hotel developers. Each room, nook and discarded item he introduces us to prompts revelations of scandal, perfidy, and more than a dash of insanity; the Gilbert loves and losses set against a twentieth-century backdrop defined by the reverberations of war and the decline of the great English country house.
