When Lauren Fleishman’s grandfather, her last surviving grandparent, passed away seven years ago, she felt a sadness knowing she was no longer anyone’s granddaughter.
Around that time she also discovered a box of love letters next to
his bed that he had written to her grandmother during World War II. It
provided Fleishman with an epistolary connection to her grandfather, one
that would shape a six-year project that focuses on couples who have been together for more than 50 years, now a book published by Schilt
titled The Lovers.
