Product Description
The Bookseller
A Little Gem
Book Description
This accomplished, touching and often hilarious
debut novel by Oscar-nominated screenwriter and star Gene Wilder tells the
story of Private Peachy, an unassuming young GI who leaves America for the
trenches of France in 1918 to try to escape the heartbreak of a failed
marriage. When he is captured by enemy troops in No Man's Land and about to
be shot, Peachy hits on the idea of impersonating Harry Stroller, the
legendary German spy whose true identity is so secret that almost no
Germans apart from the Kaiser know what he looks like. He carries off this
imposture with style, and is feted as a hero by the enemy top brass at the
local chateau where they have their HQ. There, with the nets closing in
around him, he meets Annie, a local prostitute who seems to see through his
disguise, and discovers love and happiness in the most unlikely of
circumstances. My French Whore is a skilful, bitter-sweet tale of heroism,
love and espionage which will speak to anyone with the sense that they are
not always quite what they seem.
