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 Colts final visit with memories of a lifetime of summers. Run-down yet romantic, The Big House stands not only as a cherished reminder of summers ephemeral pleasures but also as a powerful symbol of a vanishing way of life.
