Andorra, the tiny storybook nation snug in the Pyrenees between France and Spain is the setting for Peter Cameron's third book, a lyrical tale that begins as a charming story of manners and romantic relations in the tiny township of La Plata, but develops into a darker (though still comic) story of deception and psychological intrigue. The author's earlier invocations of Proust and Austen give way to impulses akin to Kafka or Camus. When should you stop trusting your narrator's memories and figure out what is really going on in this place? All is not what it seems, as the dark past of several characters returns to dim the brightness of the present surroundings. The hyper-reality of the charming mountain town Cameron creates is the ideal setting for this engaging tale, told in perfect measure, tightly stitched, with no extra bits hanging loosely.

Fraco

Estou decepcionada, pois me apaixonei pela sinopse e estava muito animada com a possibilidade de assistir o filme derivado, mas tudo é tão moroso. Os diálogos não soam naturais e a reviravolta (?) 🥴 — não surpreendeu. Uma chateação ler algo e se sentir tão frustrada.
