This was a beautifully written piece of fiction. Peter Cameron has a way of creating visual images, but also making the words sound beautiful I initially chose it because of the setting (had to check Andorra off the list), but loved it for it's value as a fascinating story, unique and interesting characters, and yes... unusual setting. Highly recommended. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.

Alexander Fox is an American who decided that he wanted to start his life over in another country. He had read a book that described Andorra, and it became a dream of his. When he arrives in Andorra by train, he is convinced that he could live there. Then he finds that in this tiny country, everyone knows everyone and they take a great deal of interest in the foreigner.
As the story unfolds, you begin to understand why the main character wanted a new life.
