A brilliant and darkly comic novel, French Exit follows a wealthy widow and her adult son who flee New York for Paris in the wake of scandal and financial disintegration . . . 

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.

DeWitt’s tone is breezy, droll, and blithely transgressive ... These are people you may not want to invite to dinner, but they sure make for fun reading." -- NPR
