Hello.
So my name is Angela Tomasky and my debut book is called The Infamous Gilberts.
It's the story of five damaged and troubled siblings growing up in a crumbling Gothic mansion.
And so their father is absent and they're set adrift in the 20th century, lacking the basic skills and support that they need.
So unfortunately, they do make some poor decisions and
and have quite tragic lives, sadly.
And yeah, that's it really.
There's a little bit of ax wielding and lots of weeping and that's it really.
It's set in the form of a tour of this mansion and focusing on all the little bits and pieces, the objects that through these little objects are gonna tell the story.
because the house is going to be turned into a hotel, so those things are going to be lost.
Well, I actually...
went on a tour of a national trust house.
So, so your, your person has got it exactly right.
That's, that's what it was meant to be.
Um, it was inspired by the Neo Gothic mansion of Tinsfield outside Bristol.
And, um,
when the last owner died, the trust took it over.
They managed to buy it with all of the contents.
And I went on a sort of tour, an exclusive tour of the upper rooms.
And I saw the bed in which this baron had died and, you know, smelt coal tar soap and, you know, saw the bed and the squashed slippers and all those really actually very personal items.
