Description
The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home George Howe Colt's poignant memoir is a tribute to the family summer house on Cape Cod, where he spent forty-two summers. In this National Book Award Finalist and New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Colt recounts his final visit with his wife and children, weaving together memories of a lifetime of summers. The Big House stands as a cherished reminder of summer's ephemeral pleasures, yet it also symbolises a vanishing way of life. Run-down yet romantic, this eleven-bedroom house watched over weddings, divorces, deaths, anniversaries, birthdays, breakdowns, and love affairs for five generations. A powerful exploration of the changing seasons and the people who call them home, The Big House is a moving tribute to the enduring power of family, memory, and place.
