A family memoir that blends art, obsession, and love as the author searches for the spectacular jeweled egg that consumed her father’s dreams—and spelled her family’s downfall.
Captivating ... She comes from a family packed with story-worthy characters, people whose innate sense of drama she has clearly inherited and spun into an irresistible saga ... What makes Kutchinsky’s Egg so spellbinding is not the egg but the Kutchinskys themselves.
Vivid ... A brightly painted tale, with everything you could want from a book about a dynasty of jewellers: safes stuffed with hash, armed robbers in monkey masks, private investigators, legal battles, secret affairs.
