"The Hare with Amber Eyes" unveils the captivating journey of a collection of Japanese netsuke, miniature sculptures, as they traverse through five generations of the author's family. Beginning in 1870s Paris, the book follows these objects as they move to Vienna, then escape to Tokyo during World War II, and finally return to London. Through these intricate carvings, Edmund de Waal weaves a rich tapestry of family history, exploring themes of cultural identity, displacement, and the enduring power of objects to connect us to the past. Discover a story of love, loss, and resilience against the backdrop of a tumultuous century. The book is not just about the netsuke, but about the people whose lives they touched and the secrets they silently witnessed.
