French Exit by Patrick DeWitt Book Summary

Now a Major Motion Picture Starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Lucas Hedges, directed by Azazael Jacobs

A Recommended Read from:

Vanity Fair * Entertainment Weekly * Vulture * The Millions * Publishers Weekly * Esquire

From bestselling author Patrick deWitt, a brilliant and darkly comic novel about a wealthy widow and her adult son who flee New York for Paris in the wake of scandal and financial disintegration.

Frances Price – tart widow, possessive mother, and Upper East Side force of nature – is in dire straits, beset by scandal and impending bankruptcy. Her adult son Malcolm is no help, mired in a permanent state of arrested development. And then there’s the Price’s aging cat, Small Frank, who Frances believes houses the spirit of her late husband, an infamously immoral litigator and world-class cad whose gruesome tabloid death rendered Frances and Malcolm social outcasts.

Putting penury and pariahdom behind them, the family decides to cut their losses and head for the exit. One ocean voyage later, the curious trio land in their beloved Paris, the City of Light serving as a backdrop not for love or romance, but self destruction and economical ruin – to riotous effect. A number of singular characters serve to round out the cast: a bashful private investigator, an aimless psychic proposing a seance, and a doctor who makes house calls with his wine merchant in tow, to name a few.  

Brimming with pathos, French Exit is a one-of-a-kind 'tragedy of manners,' a send-up of high society, as well as a moving mother/son caper which only Patrick deWitt could conceive and execute.

collection of perfect sentences. Funny, weird, and full of lovably messed up characters. The writing sparkles.

Great characters. Great characters, kind of a predictable/nothing plot but I felt that was ok because of how fast paced it was. Just the right amount of quirkiness in each character and scenario to be endearing without trying to hard. Looking forward to seeing the movie.

Delightfully weird. So weird. Delightfully weird.

Fun, whimsical story. Such a wonderfully quirky book that stands out for its uniqueness. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even as the storyline became a bit of a stretch around half way in. Although, I couldn’t help being disappointed by the ending, which felt a bit depressing to me.

Seriously Disturbed Characters. I had a 4th grade teacher who was a seriously disturbed character herself—agony on a daily basis, but I made it out alive. The one good thing she did was teach our class how to speed-read. Really well. Which came in handy for this book, the only way to sensibly make it to the end of the book to see if there was even one tiny spark of redemption for this swirling toilet bowl of depressed characters. No, not a micron. I’m mostly sorry I purchased this book digitally, since I can’t hurl it down the back stairs without damaging my device.
