Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A dual history of the Colt family and their summer house on Cape Cod recounts the house's construction one hundred years earlier, the idiosyncratic personalities that stayed there throughout five generations, the major family events that took place there, and the family's last month in the house.
Review:
"Colt's account, like the house that lies at its center, is full of surprises and contains more than seems humanly possible...."
New Yorker, 08/04/2003
Review:"[T]he wonder of the book is that the reader comes slowly, deeply, to comprehend the allure of a family world set staunchly against time, and the pathos of the author's struggle to let go of that world. The irony is that by the time he was ready to surrender, I wanted to hang on to the Big House, both the book and the place, which had indeed come to feel like the center of a universe."
Le Anne Schreiber, New York Times Book Review, 07/06/2003
