French Exit - by Patrick DeWitt (Paperback)

Frances Price is a tart-witted widow who has had enough of her mundane life in New York City.

She decides to take matters into her own hands and embark on a wild adventure with her adult son Malcolm, leaving behind their scandalous past and financial disintegration.

They set sail for Paris, where they become part of an eccentric cast of characters, including a private investigator, a psychic, and a doctor who makes house calls with his wine merchant in tow. Frances is determined to cut ties with her late husband's infamous legacy and start fresh in the City of Light.

Along the way, she discovers a newfound sense of purpose and self-destruction, while Malcolm struggles to come to terms with his own identity and place in the world. With its darkly comic tone, "French Exit" is a one-of-a-kind "tragedy of manners," a brilliant send-up of high society, and a moving mother-son caper that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
