This book, written by Edmond de Waal, includes many topics of interest to me: families, beautiful objects, history, art, wars, anti Semites and relationships. No wonder I enjoyed it. Irene read it at her book club and I wish I had been there to listen into the discussion. I know nothing about the author, except that he is a good writer.
The book tells one hundred years of one family, their history and their loss. Parts of the book are chilling but parts of the book are lovely. I hate anti Semites but seeing it up close and in a non dramatic war brings the actions all the more real. True but awful.
i thoroughly enjoyed this book. And thank Irene for sending me the title, which I down loaded into my I Pad. The modern world is a marvel.
