Letters to Camondo : ’Immerses you in another age’ Financial Times

de Waal, Edmund

From the author of the bestselling phenomenon The Hare with Amber Eyes.
As you may have guessed by now, I am not in your house by accident. I know your street rather well. The Camondos lived just a few doors away from Edmund de Waal’s forebears.

Like de Waal’s family, they were part of belle epoque high society. They were also targets of anti-Semitism. Count Moise de Camondo created a spectacular house filled with art for his son to inherit.

Over a century later, de Waal explores the lavish rooms and detailed archives and, in a haunting series of letters addressed to Camondo, he tells us what happened next. ’Illuminating... A wonderful tribute to a family and to an idea’ Guardian
’Letters to Camondo immerses you in another age...Dazzling’ Financial Times
