French Exit- Patrick Dewitt

‘Frances Price is in dire straits. Scandals swirl around the recently widowed New York socialite, and her adult, toddler-brained son Malcolm is no help. Cutting their losses, they grab their cat, Small Frank, and head for the exit, Paris’.

Richly, darkly comic send up of high society that follows a motley cast of crazy characters on a path of self-destruction. It’s addictive, so so readable and one of the few books in which I don’t think I liked anyone but I LOVED every twist of the characters.

Perfect for readers of: Sally Rooney, Kevin Barry and Elizabeth Stroud
