      I know your street rather well. Count Moïse de Camondo lived a few doors away from Edmund de Waal's forebears, the Ephrussi, first encountered in his bestselling memoir The Hare with Amber Eyes. Edmund de Waal explores the lavish rooms and detailed archives and uncovers new layers to the family story.

      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 époque high society. They were also targets of anti-Semitism.

      Count Moïse 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.
