My French Whore

The beloved actor and screenwriter?s first novel, 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.
