Villa Coco By Andrew Sean Greer

STEP INTO A SUN-DRENCHED, RIOTOUS ITALIAN ESCAPE FILLED WITH ECCENTRIC CHARACTERS, UNFORGETTABLE LAUGHTER, AND ENDURING HEART FROM PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR ANDREW SEAN GREER.

“Some books just feel like a vacation.” — VOGUE

Broke, directionless, and wondering what to do with his life, a young protagonist takes a job in the picturesque Italian countryside as an assistant to Lisabetta—better known to her friends as Coco—a strong-willed, wealthy aristocrat of legendary local renown.

Trained as an archivist, he arrives expecting to catalogue the historic contents of a beautiful, crumbling Tuscan mansion nestled in the green hills. Instead, he finds himself swept into a whirlwind of increasingly eccentric duties: entertaining an endless carousel of bohemian painters, elderly princesses, and unnervingly handsome nephews; crashing a funeral just to make off with the urn; and aiding and abetting Coco’s final, daring mission—reuniting with the lost love of her life before it's too late.

As summer fades into autumn and the magic of the Italian countryside works its spell, the hidden secrets of Villa Coco come to light in a dazzling celebration of youth, aging, friendship, and the pursuit of joy.
