Reviews

[A] wonderful book
*Waitrose Weekend*

In a decade where memoir became the dominant genre, this immensely evocative family history told via the journey through the generations of some Japanese miniature figures stood out
*Sunday Times, *Books of the Decade**

An evocative narrative of art, inheritance and loss
*Homes & Antiques*

From a hard and vast archival mass...Mr de Waal has fashioned, stroke by minuscule stroke, a book as fresh with detail as if it had been written from life, and as full of beauty and whimsy as a netsuke from the hands of a master carver.
*The Economist*

This remarkable book... a meditation on touch, exile, space and the responsibility of inheritance... like the netsuke themselves, this book is impossible to put down. you have in your hands a masterpiece.
*The Sunday Times*
