‘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’ -- <b>Ariana Neumann, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>When Time Stopped</i></b> ‘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’ -- <B>Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, columnist for <I>The i Pape</I>r and the<I> Evening Standard</I></B>
