A journey (through art) into the life of a well-to-do, influential Jewish family (between 1871 and 2009) and a hidden inheritence. Written by Ceramic Artist/Art Historian and family member Edmund de Waal. Very well written, interesting and unusual book. Revised and illustrated edition ISBN: 978-0-374-16828-5.
