The author's grandmother meticulously sent and saved postcards between 1906 and 1910. This book examines those postcards as personal narratives that reflect broader history. It's kind of slice-of-life, with beautiful photos of the cards alongside their historical context. Pick this up if you want an informative history book that feels like a scrapbook or museum exhibit in book form!

Soft DNFing this because I'm not in the right mood/headspace for this book -- it checks a ton of boxes for me, so I know something must be off with the timing. Planning to pick this back up later (and maybe listen to the first half on audio if I need a refresher).
