This is a great book to get lost into, just wondering about the lover's lives and loves. There are many letters that are just surprising and wonder what state of mind these people were in. I lent it to my mother and she hasn't given it back! Its a nice book to look in on when want to see some humanity.
Raw emotions

I love this book because it capture real emotions. These are not stories, these are letters written to a loved one. In our modern societies of "make believe" and communication this book is eternally fresh.
Lost and found

The beauty of this book, beyond the romantic nostalgia inspired by vintage photographs and handwritten letters, is that it is a collection created from discarded or "lost" memorabilia. The images and letters were once, we can reasonably believe, very important to the anonymous beholder before they were set adrift in estate sales, flea markets, and junk stores. The author performs a service of social research and cultural reclamation by taking these things in, preserving them, and creating an outlet for them to be rediscovered by other people. I highly recommend this book for anyone at all interested in being part of that process or anyone who is moved by the sentimentality of others.
