The Hare with the Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal

Practically all members of our Non-Fiction Book Club read this book in one sitting.

The book gives an intimate insight into how European history influenced (and sadly destroyed) the culture and domestic life of a high and mighty banking family. 

We gave it 4 out of 5. Not bad for a potter
