I hope you are right about the photos, Ionesco. Grainette seems like she is an excellent historian of old things, and in fact loves women's history in particular. She enjoys looking at the hairstyles and fashions and wondering who was independent and spunky, and which women were ground down by horrible marriages and family tragedies. I was watching something on PBS, I think about the history of Montana, and the historian was talking about how when pioneers received mail they had to pay for it, unlike today. And how some of the settlers were so poor they would come to the post office and smell the envelope, and hug it, and run their fingers over it and maybe cry a little, and then give it back unopened, because they couldn't afford the postage. And these were relatives that they would almost certainly never see again. How heartbreaking! That made me so sad, like imagining having only the photo of my dead child to comfort me.
