The beloved actor and screenwriter Gene Wilder's first novel, My
French Whore, set during World War I, delicately and elegantly
explores a most unusual romance. It's almost the end of the war and
Paul Peachy, a young railway employee and amateur actor in
Milwaukee, realizes his marriage is one-sided. He enlists, and
ships off to France. Peachy instantly realizes how out of his depth
he is--and never more so than when he is captured. Risking
everything, Peachy--who as a child of immigrants speaks
German--makes the reckless decision to impersonate one of the
enemy's most famous spies. As the urbane and accomplished spy Harry
Stroller, Peachy has access to a world he could never have known
existed--a world of sumptuous living, world-weary men, and
available women. But when one of those women--Annie, a young,
beautiful and wary courtesan--turns out to be more than she seems,
Peachy's life is transformed forever.
