Outermost House

Outermost House

by Henry Beston

Outermost House is a beautifully written and evocative memoir of a year spent living in a small house on the remote beach of Cape Cod. Beston's lyrical prose captures the beauty and wonder of the natural world, from the crashing waves to the smallest creatures that inhabit the beach. He also reflects on the human experience of solitude and the importance of connecting with nature.
