Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A dancingly captivating, mischievous and heartbreaking debut about a dysfunctional family, in a crumbling Gothic mansion spanning the decades of the Twentieth Century.'We shall be forgotten.' he said. 'We shall be lost. They will scrub us away like a set of dirty fingerprints on a plastic ke…ttle.'The crumbling Gothic mansion of Thornwalk, long-term home of the Gilbert family, is being handed over to a chain of luxury 'historic' hotels. Millions will be spent in its restoration. But for every so-called improvement, what will be lost? What value can there possibly be in a threadbare carpet, a tarnished spoon and a thousand empty jam jars?Before the hotel people arrive, with their clipboards and their skips and their bottles of bleach, Maximus, loyal guardian of the Gilberts' legacy, invites us on a final tour of the once-stately home, where each room holds a secret. From the bolt on the blue room door to the tiny dents in the bars at the nursery window . these are the keys that will unlock the lives of the five fatherless Gilbert children.A frustrated romantic, a stubborn traditionalist, a dreamer, a diva and an explorer: The Infamous Gilberts will be cast adrift on the irresistible tides of the twentieth century, buoyed by love, buffeted by loss, and tangled together in an unputdownable story where the lines between eccentricity and madness, cruelty and love become hilariously, heartbreakingly blurred. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
