520    "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, a 
       doctor who makes house calls with his wine merchant in tow,
       and the inimitable Mme. Reynard, aggressive houseguest and
       dementedly friendly American expat. Brimming with pathos 
       and wit, French Exit is a one-of-a-kind 'tragedy of 
       manners,' a riotous send-up of high society, as well as a 
       moving mother/son caper which only Patrick deWitt could 
       conceive and execute"--|cProvided by publisher
