When our protagonist - a young, directionless man from the American Midwest - arrives at Villa Coco, he thinks he's been hired to catalogue the contents of the beautiful, crumbling mansion nestled in the green Tuscan hills. But soon he discovers that the owner of the villa - the formidable Baronessa - seems more interested in organising wild escapades with her menagerie of old friends than in getting to work on the archive.
But as summer turns into autumn and the Italian countryside begins to work its magic, the secrets of Villa Coco and its inhabitants are slowly brought to light - and with them, an unforgettable story of the enduring power of friendship.
Andrew Sean Greer is the author of seven works of fiction, including the international bestseller Less. He has taught at a number of universities, including Stanford and the Iowa Writers Workshop, been a TODAY show pick, a New York Public Library Cullman Center Fellow, a judge for the National Book Award, and a winner of the California Book Award and the New York Public Library Young Lions Award. He is the recipient of a NEA grant, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
From 2016 - 2018, Greer was the first Executive Director of the Santa Maddalena Foundation, working alongside president Beatrice Monti della Corte to invite writers from around the world for six weeks of tranquility in the Tuscan countryside in which to pursue their craft. The setting of Villa Coco, Greer's new novel, is partly inspired by the time he spent there.
