A Bejeweled Tortoise

Very informative and fascinating account of the Ephrussi family who's multi-generational trails include Odessa, Vienna, Paris, Japan, and more, tying their lives relationships to key historic events such as the advent of the French Impressionist movement and Japonisme, the Holocaust, etc. Charming surprises, beautifully written.Read full review...

It was a cheap way to get a book I wanted to read

It's a good book, with many reviews by better reviewer than I. Edmund De Waal has talked about his life, and his family history in many interviews and podcasts.

Great book everyone should buy and read it.

It is a story that weaves history family and the love of collecting into a page turner.
