Letters To Camondo by Edmund de Waal
An epistolary meditation addressed to a Parisian Jewish collector, written from within the preserved rooms of his mansion-turned-museum. It evokes the glittering world of Belle Époque taste and the intimate rituals of collecting, then traces the shattering impact of war and antisemitism that obliterated his family. Through close attention to objects—porcelain, furniture, letters—it explores memory, loss, and the fragile solace of beauty.
