The Hare with Amber Eyes is a memoir by Edmund de Waal. This book tells the story of a collection of 264 Japanese netsuke (small sculptures) that have been passed down through generations of the author's family. Through the history of these objects, de Waal explores his family's Jewish heritage, the impact of World War II, and the enduring power of art. The Hare with Amber Eyes is a beautifully written and deeply moving exploration of art's ability to connect us to the past.
