Description During Books My French Whore

The 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.

Evaluation Containing Books My French Whore

Being a big WWI fan, I thought this was going to be a lot better than it was. It got to be a bit like a Monty Python skit towards the end but I believe the author intended it to be a more serious love story (unless it was all tongue in cheek, and I completely missed the point).

This was a fun little farce. Nothing terribly deep, but an amusing read. The romance is sweet & the military aspect was interesting. A very short book; I finished it in a day.

This is a romance in the true sense of the word romantic. The writing is spare, stark, illuminated and deeply moving. Paul Peachy, railway worker, amateur actor and unhappy newlywed, decides one day to join the army. WWI, American army. This story defines courage and love. I can't tell you what happens but I can recommend that you read it.I did think this was a really good book, but in retrospect I think 4 stars, not 5. Probably 4 1/2 is the right rating.

Gene Wilder writes like he acts. Poorly.

Gene Wilder's voice shines through in this story.

This was a sweet, slight, story set during World War I. It was fun to read, and is well-executed by Wilder. "Slight" is the operative word, however. The genre requires the lady mentioned in the title to have a heart of gold and Wilder does not disappoint. For a war that was, by all accounts, a brutal, bloody, muddy mess there is an awful lot of fine dining, excellent wine and civilized conversation. Why, there's not really anyone in this book who is even the least little bit nasty.If it were a

When this book came my way, I read the title, and was about to dismiss it, then I saw who the author was, and thought, really? I had no idea that Gene Wilder was also an author!! So at that point, my original dismissal wavered, so I read the blurb, and my interest was piqued! My French Whore takes us into the life of Private Paul Peachy, who, bored with life in Milwaukee, enlists in the army and heads to France to fight in WW1. Shocked by the death of his friends within minutes of entering the
