Faced with the sale of the century-old family summer house on Cape
Cod where he had spent forty-two summers, George Howe Colt recounts
returning for one last stay with his wife and children in this
stunning memoir that was a National Book Award Finalist and a New
York Times Notable Book of the Year.This poignant tribute to the
eleven-bedroom jumble of gables, bays, and dormers that watched
over weddings, divorces, deaths, anniversaries, birthdays,
breakdowns, and love affairs for five generations interweaves
Colt's final visit with memories of a lifetime of summers. Run-down
yet romantic, The Big House stands not only as a cherished reminder
of summer's ephemeral pleasures but also as a powerful symbol of a
vanishing way of life.
