A proposito di questo titolo
‘Sparkles with passion, greed and mystery’ OLIVER BULLOUGH, author of Butler to the World
‘Spellbinding’ LAURA MILLER, Slate
‘A jewel of a thriller’ CAROL WOOLTON, author of If Jewels Could Talk
When Serena Kutchinsky was ten years old, her father Paul was consumed by a wild dream. Heir to a legendary jewellery empire, he longed to create a golden egg more spectacular than any of Fabergé’s masterpieces.
It was the largest jewelled egg in the world: two feet tall, made of solid gold and dripping with thousands of rare pink diamonds. But when no buyer emerged, the dream turned into a nightmare. The family business collapsed, her parents' marriage fell apart, and within ten years Paul was dead. The egg was seized by its creditors and disappeared without a trace.
Thirty years later, Serena sets out to find this lost masterpiece and uncover the truth about the man who sacrificed everything to create it. Her search takes her deep into the secretive world of jewellery dealers and collectors, transforming everything she thought she knew about her father, her childhood and herself.
‘A brightly painted tale, with everything you could want from a book about a dynasty of jewellers’ SUNDAY TIMES

Recensioni della critica
‘A heady mix of intimate family memoir, refugee history and exploration of the gilded world of fine jewellery, Kutchinsky’s Egg is a thrilling read. At its heart, is a daughter’s bold and extraordinary quest to understand her father. This is a mesmerising tale, beautifully told. I could not put it down’ (Ariana Neumann, New York Times bestselling author of When Time Stopped)
‘Vulnerable, questing and uniquely moving, Kutchinsky's Egg is a sparkling story of loss, love and redemption' (Dan Richards, author of Outpost and Overnight)
'Kutchinsky's Egg is a wild and fascinating trip, a vivid story of a father's obsession and a daughter's love, but it also explores how we live with our emotional inheritances, and how we ultimately make peace with them' (Octavia Bright, broadcaster and author of This Ragged Grace)
‘Rich in details, sharp in suspense and devastating in its revelations. This is a jewel of a thriller – impossible to put down' (Carol Woolton, author of If Jewels Could Talk)
‘A memoir of fixations, big diamonds, big money, big ambitions, fur coats and grand houses, a pushy matriarch, love and loss, internecine melees, the rise and fall of a family of skilled and aesthetically incomparable Jewish jewellers in Britain. The writing is both intimate and dramatic. The storyteller confides in the reader as she unearths buried truths, secrets and lies. Utterly brilliant’ (Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, columnist for The i Paper and the Evening Standard)
