The chilling story of a man attempting to flee his mysterious past – by the acclaimed author of THE WEEKEND.
After a devastating personal tradgedy, a man leaves the United States to begin a life abroad. The country that he settles in, Andorra, eerily re-echoes his past, especially when he begins to fall in love with two women simultaneously.
The small nation is populated by the colourful and the bizarre like the ancient Mrs. Reinhardt who has outlived the lifetime lease of the Hotel Excelsior penthouse; the Dents, an Australian couple who share a first name, a huge dog and a secret; Saphonsobia Quay, the kayaking matriarch with two beautiful and mysterious daughters; Ali, the fatalistic coffee purveyor and Alexander Fox who not only finds himself in a foreign country but also in a crisis of faith, conscience and identity.
ANDORRA is a sinister, beautiful novel about deceit, desire and the persistance of memory.

Review:
"This marvelous mood piece about lying and truth telling, escape and discovery, and the weird calm at the heart of desperation." --The New Yorker
"Andorra does everything you want fiction to do--entertain, turn tricks, surge with unexpected feeling, send you transformed back into your life--but it does it with that delightfully un-American virtue, a light touch." --John Weir, The Village Voice
"Wonderful . . . Like so many good novels, Andorra ends badly for the characters but well for the reader. Mr. Cameron steers us through the final, fantastical events of Alex's story with an unfaltering hand." --Margot Livesey, The New York Times Book Review
"As eerily beautiful as it is laced with threat . . . Andorra is a revelation." --Michael Upchurch, San Francisco Chronicle
"Controlled, precise, pellucid, Mr. Cameron's prose brilliantly transmits the moment-by-moment feel of his protagonist's sojourn in a country that finally does not allow him to escape from himself." --Merle Rubin, The Wall Street Journal
