The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss

minda, January 1, 2013

Incredibly well written for someone so young and not a professional writer. De Waal's account of the history of his family (whose members knew people like Proust and Rilke), the assembly of its collection of Japanese miniature carvings called netsuke and how the collection survived the Nazi takeover of Austria had me fascinate.
