The Big House

From the first page, the writing felt like home. Though I was swept up in the story, I had to read it in small doses so I could appreciate the personal journey. It is down to earth yet intricately nostalgic. Similar to sitting down and having a long conversation over a cup of coffee, it created an urgency for white space and a chance to breathe. After having completed the reading of “The Big House”, it felt as if I had gotten to know author, George Howe Colt, as a friend. If you are looking for a book that will trace your life steps like walking through the rooms of a summer home on Cape Cod, look no further. This memoir is a special treat to be enjoyed one piece at a time. Trust me, you will wish to return to its pages for reflection…maybe every summer.
