The Camondos were a Jewish family from Constantinople, ? the Rothschilds of the East,? who made their home in Paris in the 1870s and became philanthropists, art collectors, and fixtures of Belle Époque high society, as well as being targets of antisemitism? much like de Waal's relations, the Ephrussi family, to whom they were connected.

These fifty letters are deeply personal reflections on assimilation, melancholy, family, art, the vicissitudes of history, and the value of memory.
