This was an interesting story of five generations and how they lived in and enjoyed an enormous and wonderful summer home on Cape Cod. The book is filled with local history from Native American days to present. Feelings of the generations of cousins, aunts and uncles. Weddings and parties and how in the end, the eleven bedroom gabled wonder of a house was no longer affordable and must be sold. The author tells of his forty third and last summer there with his small family.
