‘Kutchinsky's Egg is a wild and fascinating trip, a vivid story of a father's obsession and a daughter's love’ OCTAVIA BRIGHT
When she was eleven years old, Serena Kutchinsky’s father Paul was consumed by a wild dream. Heir to the legendary jewellery company House of Kutchinsky, he wanted to create the world’s largest jewelled egg – more lavish and beautiful than any of Fabergé’s masterpieces.
Standing two-feet tall, made of solid gold, dripping with rare pink diamonds and housing a tiny enamelled library, the Argyle Library Egg was truly astonishing. The problem was: nobody would buy it. The House of Kutchinsky collapsed, Paul’s marriage fell apart – and within ten years he was dead. The egg was seized by its creditors and disappeared without a trace.
For thirty years its location remained a mystery, until it began to obsess Serena, too. Why did her father risk everything for this outlandish creation, and where in the world was it – valued by now at £30 million? Intent on finding answers, she set out on a journey that begins in London’s East End – with the arrival of her great, great grandparents as Jewish immigrants from Poland – and takes her to the most unexpected of places.
‘This book sparkles with pride, passion, love, family, heritage, greed and mystery. Just like its subject, it's a gem’ OLIVER BULLOUGH
‘Mesmerising’ ARIANNA NEUMANN
‘A jewel of a thriller – impossible to put down’ CAROL WOOLTON
