Edmund de Waal’s prose is beautiful – but Letters to Camondo is lifeless The artist returns to the belle époque turf of The Hare with Amber Eyes, this time writing imaginary letters to a Jewish collector in Paris Musee Nissim de Camondo, Paris, was the home of Comte Moise de Camondo Credit: Christophe Delliere In all its shades of meaning, “precious” is the adjective that inevitably attaches itself to the work of Edmund de Waal.

And it also contained her own private theatre. Marie Antoinette’s was an age in which ‘theatre-mania’ was rife, with small society theatres sprouting up within fashionable chateaux and stately homes. But at the same time stagec ....
