Summary: "Madame Gilbert's Cannibal" by Bennet Copplestone is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the intriguing character of Madame Gilbert, who, having ended her secret wartime activities, embarks on an unusual journey that intertwines her fate with a half-caste heir to an ancient peerage family. This mixture of humor and drama unfolds as she navigates a peculiar social predicament involving British aristocracy and a cannibal lordship from the Torres Straits. At the start of the story, Madame Gilbert, a striking and confident woman, emerges from her war service with a thirst for adventure and a sense of freedom. She encounters Roger Gatepath, a lawyer entangled in a social crisis involving Lord Topsham's unexpected heir—a young man raised in a primitive environment. Gatepath expresses his dilemma about the legal ownership of the title and the implications of this family scandal, as the heir is revealed to be a "cannibal" living on an island. Intrigued by the absurdity of the situation, Madame is motivated to take charge of the developments, setting the stage for a humorous yet poignant exploration of identity, class, and the fluidity of social norms.
