OverviewThe 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.Full Product DetailsAuthor: Gene Wilder , Scott BrickPublisher: Books on Tape Imprint: Books on Tape ISBN: 9781415938157ISBN 10: 1415938156 Publication Date: 06 March 2007 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Downloadable audio file Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
