Description

"My French Whore:  A Love Story" autographed by Gene Wilder. 

What would you do if captured by the enemy? Paul Peachy has left a one-sided marriage and joined the Army during World War I. After a few weeks of training, he is sent to the front lines in France. Paul finds he is overwhelmed when fighting begins. Because he speaks German, he is called upon to talk with a prisoner to try and get information from him. When the enemy captures him, Peachy decides to impersonate the most famous German spy. How long can Peachy keep up the charade? What will happen when it’s all over? Gene Wilder has written a delightful bit of historical fiction that moves quickly through Paul Peachy’s life.

"Gene Wilder has written a remarkable period piece. It’s an elegantly woven story of intrigue, danger, sex and comedy –but for me the big surprise is that it’s a truly moving and eloquent love story."
--Mel Brooks
