Refuge: The Cape Cod Cottage
Not yet published
Expected 22 Jun 27A love letter to the enduring magic of Cape Cod, captured in portraits of 100 beach camps, cottages, and cabins.
In this transporting collection, 100 gorgeous images of weathered shingled homes, timeless cottages, and delightfully eccentric hideaways draw readers into the quiet side streets and salt-air landscapes of Cape Cod. Most of the houses have no known pedigree, just the distinction of their own funky charm and vernacular groove. But there are also former homes of artists and writers with Cape connections ―painter Edward Hopper, architect Marcel Breuer, poet Mary Oliver, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau, among others. Each photograph is accompanied by a brief, intimate reflection―part history, part observation, part personal anecdote ― revealing stories behind homes, exploring the character of neighborhoods, and investigating the feeling these spaces evoke. More than a design book or shelter magazine, this is a warm, witty, and deeply evocative portrait of the Cape Cod humble yet artistic, weathered yet romantic, and endlessly beloved.
