Villa Coco by Andrew Sean Greer - Signed Edition - *Pre-order 9th June 2026*

This is the pre-order page for the signed edition of Villa Coco by Andrew Sean Greer. Your order will be fulfilled upon publication: 9th June 2026.

A coming-of-age story. A love story. And - above all - a life-enhancing,
unforgettable story of friendship.

Pulitzer Prize winner Andrew Sean Greer showcases his wit, sophistication and
deep knowledge of focaccia in this magical tale set amidst the Tuscan hills.

Broke and directionless, our young man takes a job in the Italian countryside as the all-
purpose assistant to Lisabetta, known to her friends as Coco - a strong-willed, wealthy aristocrat of great local renown.

Trained as an archivist, he thinks he's been hired to catalogue the contents of the
beautiful, crumbling mansion nestled in the green Tuscan hills... but what are his actual
duties? Days are spent ridding the house of a marten - whatever that is - locating the
antediluvian septic system, entertaining an endless carousel of guests (from bohemian
painters to elderly princesses to unnervingly handsome nephews), attending a funeral in
order to make off with the urn, and not inadvertently sabotaging Coco's great and final
plan-to locate the lost love of her life and be reunited before it's too late.

As summer turns into autumn and the Italian countryside begins to work its magic on our
protagonist, 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.
