Named one of the best books of 2018 by The Washington Post, The Seattle Times, and The Advocate“Staggeringly brilliant . . . You’ll start The Maze of Windermere with bewilderment, but you’ll close it in awe.” —The Washington Post“Pitch perfect.” —New York Times Book Review When a drunken party guest challenges him to a late-night tennis match, Sandy Allison finds himself unexpectedly entangled in the monied world of Newport, Rhode Island. A former touring pro a little down on his luck, Sandy has nothing to stake against the vintage motorcycle his opponent wagers. But then Alice DuPont—the young heiress to a Newport mansion called Windermere—offers up her diamond necklace.   With this reckless wager begins a dazzling narrative odyssey that braids together four centuries of aspiration and adversity in this renowned seaside society capital. A witty and urbane bachelor of the Gilded Age embarks on a high-risk scheme to marry into a fortune; a young Henry James, soon to make his mark on the world, turns himself to his craft with harrowing social consequences; an aristocratic British officer during the American Revolution carries on a courtship that leads to murder; and, in Newport’s earliest days, a tragically orphaned Quaker girl imagines a way forward for herself and the slave girl she has inherited.   Gregory Blake Smith weaves these intersecting worlds into a rich, brilliant tapestry. A deftly layered novel of love, ambition, and duplicity, The Maze at Windermere charts a voyage across the ages into the maze of the human heart.

This is a remarkable and absorbing novel. Spanning over three hundred years, and anchored by the historic city of Newport, RI, the novel follows the lives of five different people at five different historic periods: a Quaker teen girl orphaned by the loss of both parents in the same year, a British officer managing spies during the Revolutionary War, the novelist Henry James at the cusp of his decision to dedicate his life to his art, a Gilded Age gay New York man trapped by the legal and moral strictures of his time and by his ambition to live a life among "the 400" who rule New York high society, and a modern tennis pro at the end of his tournament career who must deal with the fact that despite having been a better player than everyone in the whole world except forty-six other professionals he is still seen as a failure lacking "the killer instinct."Written in styles designed to capture the style and sensibility of the years it is set in, the novel is flawlessly written and captivating. The metaphor of the boxwood maze at a fictitious Newport gilded age "cottage" carries through the complicated lives and relations of all of its characters, each of whom struggle with the vagaries of love as well as the moral issues of their times, from slavery to the treatment of gay people and people with handicaps to the constant battleground of sexual love and the problems that surround it. Each major character must wrestle with the question of just how the demands of moral behavior are imposed, some finding goodness in themselves, others murderous evil. It is left to the reader to ultimately decide who is a victim and who a villain.The author has obviously modeled himself on the great novels of manners and morality of Henry James, who himself serves as a character and suffers a moral crisis in the book. The style is crisp and readable, the characters vivid and engaging, and the reader is brought into the plot, making his own decision as to the worthiness and future of each character.This book is well worth your time and money, and in my opinion deserves consideration when the major awards come around. I hope that the fact that the author is not a major literary figure does not prevent the book from getting the attention it deserves, and hope that the author has more work of this caliber in store for us.
