About this book
Edmund de Waal’s memoir, “The Hare With Amber Eyes: A Family’s Century of Art and Loss”, chronicles the odyssey of 264 netsuke (tiny Japanese sculptures) that he inherited, across his family’s history. The Ephrussis, once a prominent banking family comparable to the Rothschilds, lost nearly everything during World War II. The netsuke, concealed by a faithful maid, were the sole remnants of their vast empire. The book is a contemplative exploration of art, history, and familial ties.
