Books in English by writers from Andorra are hard to find, so these two are wider picks: books by long-time residents, outsiders who know the place well, folk tales and history with a strong feel for Andorra.
Very little writing by Andorrans has been translated into English, so the country appears mostly through visitors and writers born elsewhere. Andorra is a small Pyrenean country between France and Spain, with fewer than 100,000 residents and Catalan as its only official language, though Spanish and French are widely spoken. Its writers belong to the wider Catalan tradition, whose written literature reaches back to the Middle Ages, and publishing at home is on a small scale.
Peter Cameron's Andorra is an American novelist's fable of an exile starting over in a dreamlike, invented version of the country, and it reveals little about the real one. Eric Ripert's 32 Yolks is a French chef's memoir whose early chapters recall his childhood in Andorra before moving to kitchens in France and New York.
