### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Frances Price is my new favorite female character of all time
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2020*

Described as a 'tragedy of manners', Patrick DeWitt's French Exit joins a formidable library of NY social life sendups stretching back centuries at this point. We're all familiar with the most famous of them, by Tom Wolfe, Dawn Powell, John O'Hara, Dominick Dunne, et alia. My most recent favorite in this genre was Molly Jong-Fast's The Social Climbers Handbook.French Exit is a masterpiece not only of the society genre but of dark humour & darker truths.65-year old social maven of the Upper East Side, Frances Price's grand scandal was finding her husband's body at home, dead by cardiac arrest. She reports the death after returning from a skiing trip.Frances Price is my new favorite female character of all time. Her tongue is a 1,000 times sharper than her inhuman neglect.She's frittered away the estate to the point of homelessness. Scraping together a not insignificant sum in cash, she takes her adult son, largely boarding-schooled, Malcolm and her loyal familiar, the cat named after her late husband, Small Frank, on a trans-Atlantic cruise to their temporary digs, an apartment on Ile Saint Louis in Paris loaned by a friend.Think Leaving Las Vegas as directed by Godard.There is, in fact, a film in post-production. I can only imagine that, among her many memorable roles, Michelle Pfeiffer has been given the role of her lifetime.French Exit goes on my Shelf Of Fame.Thanks, Viia, for this perfect recommendation, NY snark and Gallic rapier-like wit, or rather, DeWitt. 🌹

    French Exit lives up to its title
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018*

In many authors’ hands, the story of what happens once the money runs out for a widowed socialite - Frances Price - and her adult son, Malcolm, would be maudlin, depressing, and  susceptible to Dunham-esque levels of drama; in deWitt’s hands, it is anything but.Although the plot IS full of tense and terrible moments, the characters who people DeWitt’s little world turn out to be simultaneously vulnerable, grounded, and affable for the reader. Some - like Small Frank, the cat inhabited by Frances’s ex-husband’s spirit - are more obviously hilarious than others, but each of the principals have unexpectedly funny observations and characteristics. They’re a quirky and lovable bunch, and as a result, the undertones of the narrative fairly thrum with a kind of surprising love and gentleness (an observation to which Frances and several other characters would likely take umbrage). But lovable and touching they remain.Overall, I found this book to be one that challenged me to rethink the boundaries of shaping and sharing  tragic situations with a reader, what lies at the center of those people who are truly thoughtless but also unexpectedly kind, and the many ways in which one’s worldview and life experiences are shaped largely by the most complicated yet mundane of experiences:  family dynamics and first loves.An engaging, thoughtful, and funny book, Patrick DeWitt’s French Exit deserves to be added to your TBR pile with alacrity.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Did not like ending
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021*

I read in a EW magazine about this novel to be a movie with Michelle Pfiffer so I had to read it right away so see what it will be about. It is an easy and entertaining enough read about her and her son after her husband's death. It really builds a good momentum, until the very end. I really cannot say any more without any spoilers. Probably will see the movie, just to see what they did with it, and to see Michelle.
