Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 263 pages. Published in 1997. The author's third novel. One of Peter Cameron's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. The brilliant DJ design makes the book resemble a travel guide. Presents Peter Cameron's "Andorra". The infinitesimal nation wedged between France and Spain, the setting for the author's masterly novel. In characteristic Cameron style, it begins as a narrative of manners and romantic relations in the town of La Plata then develops into a darker story of deception and intrigue. "All is not what it seems, as the dark past of several characters returns to dim the brightness of the present surroundings. The hyperreality of the charming mountain town Cameron creates is the ideal setting for this engaging tale, told in pitch-perfect prose, where every word gleams by itself and fits in seamlessly with the rest of the book at the same time" (Publishers Weekly). By now, it has become a banality to say of a writer like Peter Cameron that he is underrated and underappreciated, by readers, that is, who should know better because each of his books comes with genuine, sincerely felt praise from fellow writers, who do know better. An absolute "must-have" title for Peter Cameron collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by Peter Cameron. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic.
