Description
Edmund de Waal's Letters to Camondo is a poignant exploration of family history and legacy. In this collection of imaginary letters, he tells the story of Count Moïse de Camondo, whose lavish house and private art collection were once the epicentre of belle epoque high society.
The Camondos' tragic story is one of loss and survival, as they navigated the challenges of antisemitism and war. De Waal delves into the archives of this remarkable family, uncovering new layers to their history and shedding light on the fate of their beloved collection.
Through these haunting letters, de Waal brings the Camondo story to life, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of those who lived in 63 rue de Monceau, Paris. A fascinating and moving read, Letters to Camondo is a testament to the power of family history and the enduring legacy of the past.
