FRENCH EXIT: Patrick deWitt

FRENCH EXIT

by Patrick deWitt

This book is like the perfect dinner guest; charming and full of a sly wit, it will entertain you all evening before making an exit perfectly timed to leave you wanting more. I can’t remember the last time I read such a funny book, or met with such a formidable character as Frances Price.

After burning through her late husband's fortune, Frances, an Upper-East Side widow of infamous elegance and vitriol, packs up her man-child son Malcom, her elderly cat and what cash she can muster for one final sentimental journey to Paris. Do yourself a favour and invite yourself along for the ride!
