Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Andrew Sean Greer comes to Manchester Literature Festival to discuss his dazzling and witty new novel Villa Coco. 

Broke and directionless, a young American takes a mysterious job assisting Lisabetta – known as Coco – a formidable aristocrat living in a crumbling Tuscan villa. He believes he has been hired to catalogue the contents of the beautiful mansion nestled in the green hills… but what are his real duties? 

Days soon fill with eccentric guests, missing martens and schemes involving long-lost love, as the secrets of Villa Coco slowly come to light. This sun-soaked adventure is an unforgettable story of the enduring power of friendship. 

Join Andrew for an entertaining conversation about this magical Mediterranean tale of friendship, chaos and becoming who you’ve always wanted to be.
