«[A] wonderful book»
Dame Felicity Lott, 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»
Andrew Holgate, 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.»
Frances Wilson, The Sunday Times
