| Abstract | "ADJUTANT DESIRED for owner of modest country house. Collection of books, objects, art such as a Picasso to be cataloged before Christmas. Duties: dictation, pruning, shopping, hunting martens. So begins the tale of our young man, an aspiring archivist determined to begin a 'serious' life after an undistinguished undergraduate career notable mainly for poor choices in love. Taking up residence in the Italian countryside, he becomes the all-purpose assistant to the Baronessa, known to her friends as Coco, a defiantly youthful and naturally flamboyant women of ninety-two. Amid a chaotic and colorful milieu of gin-swilling princesses, an incomprehensible handyman, roaming boar hunters, nuns, and other local wildlife, our young man does his best to catalog the villa's extensive collection of art and antiques--although he notices that things seem to go missing from right under his nose. Despite himself, he tumbles in an affair with a married man, complicating his future plans considerably. And when the Baronessa loses someone close to her, he becomes and unwitting accomplice in the acceleration of Coco's great and final plan: to locate the love of her life and be reunited before it's too late."
