Novels at Night choice for Sept 8, 2026, 7:00 pm @ Weston Public Library

Unable to travel this summer? Open these pages into a sun-drenched, Italian villa tucked back in the rampant vines and olive trees, rooms stuffed with art and possessions collected over a lifetime, populated by a host of one-of-a kind characters on a rollicking escapade that dazzles. Light and refreshing.

“Easy-breezy funny and charming . . . [Greer] has confected an airy champagne bubble of a book. . . The characters in this novel are loveable enough to live in your head for days afterward.”—Vox 

“Charming from start to finish . . . Seductively entertaining . . . [Villa Coco] feels itself like a proverbial box of chocolates—a treasure chest of surprises waiting to be sampled. . . . Greer’s novel is a Tuscan romp that overflows with sunshine and surprises while providing a deep meditation on growing up, growing old and navigating the many crossroads in between.”—BookPage (starred review) 

“What a beautiful book: an absolutely engrossing world full of golden sunlight and strange little secrets and anchovies and art. I feel like I’d recognize its glorious haphazard villa and determined Baronessa on sight.”—Holly Gramazio, author of The Husbands
