Edmund De Waal's history of his close relatives, the wealthy Ephrussi
family (and other similar Jewish families of the belle epoque high society),
was the first book to give me a graspable understanding of the anti-
semetism that became a horrific blot on modern history. Read this book
not only because it enthralls from start to finish, but because it will dazzle
and inform you. (and see bwl 59 and 61).
