by Susan Gilbert Harvey
 NEW in 2010 from Golden Apple Press
In the summer of 1998, artist Susan Gilbert Harvey discovers the letters written in the summer of 1898 by her grandmother and great-aunt. Edith and Anna Lester wrote home to Rome, Georgia, from Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. A century later, a few blocks from the Lester house, Harvey uses the letters as a framework for her summer of personal transformation. As she ends her career as a sculptor and performance artist, Harvey recounts anecdotes about her artwork, her hometown history, and some of Rome, Georgia’s quirky women. (Golden Apple Press 2010: 272 pages, 55 illustrations, and 2 maps)
POSTMARKS: the summers of ’98 is the prequel to Harvey’s first memoir, Tea with Sister Anna: a Paris journal.
