The Big House

I finished reading a wonderful book last week called "The Big House" by George Howe Colt. I found out about this book as I do so much of what's good and great out there in this big wide world through a blog.  How I love you blogs.  This one is named the the blue hour, a beautiful site of photographs taken by Brian Ferry.

He kindly let me use some of his photos of Wings Neck, on Cape Cod, where the book takes place.

Highly recommend the book (and Ferry's blog).  Funny too, that Colt's wife is Anne Fadiman, whose book, "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down", I read many years ago and still the story lingers in my mind.  A great, great book, and a winner of a National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction.
