The book starts from a collection of over two hundred Japanese wood and ivory miniatures, the netsuke, to reconstruct the fortunes of the Ephrussi family across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The author follows their trail through cities such as Paris, Vienna and Odesa and turns them into a guiding thread for a story about a turbulent Europe, war, love and loss.

Recommended for readers interested in memoirs, European history and objects that treasure family memory.
