The City of Your Final Destination

But when his request is denied by the author's family, Omar must leave behind his life in Kansas appeal to them in person--at their crumbling estate in Ocho Rios, Uruguay. There Omar meets Gund's wife, his mistress, and his brother, all living in close quarters, and his relationship with each of them develops all kinds of unforeseen complications.

"Delightful, unexpected, magical, romantic, and fraught with adorable entanglements."--Ann Pritchard, USA Today "Subtle, affectingly, erotically traces the beginnings, the hesitations, the advances of a love affair."--Richard Eder, The New York Times "A lightly comic novel as splendid as Peter Cameron's The City of Your Final Destination is a cause for celebration."--James Schiff, The News and Observer (Raleigh) "A very worthy, and eminently readable, addition to Cameron's graceful, witty, and insightful body of work . . . A finely crafted novel [that] continues to surprise until the final pages."--Chris Lehmann, The Washington Post "Cameron draws this sweet novel to one of the most satisfying denouements in recent memory."--John Freeman, San Francisco Chronicle
