Description
The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance Edmund de Waal's discovery of a collection of 264 intricately carved netsuke in his great uncle's Tokyo apartment sparked a journey through generations of his remarkable family. The netsuke, a small wooden and ivory figurine, holds a story of love, loss, and legacy that spans centuries and continents. From the tumultuous empires of Odessa and Vienna to the vibrant streets of fin de siecle Paris and modern-day Tokyo, de Waal weaves a complex and beautiful narrative that explores the human experience. With each netsuke, a new chapter unfolds, revealing the intricate web of relationships and events that have shaped his family's history. A rich and evocative tale of art, family, and identity, The Hare with Amber Eyes is a masterpiece of storytelling that will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned.
