A tragedy of manners from the Man Booker-shortlisted author of The
Sisters Brothers `My favourite book of his yet ... Dizzyingly good
... A triumph from a writer truly in the zone' Maria Semple, author
of Where'd You Go, Bernadette `French Exit made me so happy ...
Brilliant, addictive, funny and wise' Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of Less `A thrilling madcap caper' Hannah
Rothschild, author of The Improbability of Love Frances Price -
tart widow, possessive mother and Upper East Side force of nature -
is in dire straits, beset by scandal. Her adult son Malcolm is no
help, mired in a permanent state of arrested development. And then
there's their cat, Small Frank, who Frances believes houses the
spirit of her late husband, an infamously immoral lawyer whose
gruesome tabloid death rendered them social outcasts. To put their
troubles behind them, the trio cut their losses and head for the
exit. Their beloved Paris becomes the backdrop for a giddy drive to
self-destruction, helped along by a cast of singularly curious
characters: a bashful private investigator, an aimless psychic and
Mme. Reynard, friendly American expat and aggressive houseguest.
Brimming with pathos, warmth and wit, French Exit is a
one-of-a-kind tragedy of manners, a riotous send-up of high society
and a moving story of mothers and sons.
