The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod

Synopsis

note Not sure why this is considered such a classic. It's written in the 'precious' style used by Henry Adams. Really annoying. It should have been an enjoyable book: a year spent in a snug cottage next to the beach on Cape Cod, in the 1920's. Sounds great. But the coy, cloying, effeminate writing style gets in the way at every step.
