3. 'The Hare with Amber Eyes (Illustrated Edition): A Hidden Inheritance,' by Edmund de Waal

Edmund de Waal's bestseller (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $40, 432 pp.) about the more than 200 Japanese carvings he found in his great-uncle's apartment – and the history behind them – is now repackaged with more than 100 never-before-published images. "The Hare with the Amber Eyes" fascinated and moved readers with its tales of de Waal's family as they navigated the Paris of Proust, Vienna under the Nazis, and post-war Tokyo. Photos in the expanded edition help to bring to life some of family members featured, including one of Emmy, a youthful bride, taken after she married and in which she is resplendent in a large hat, elegant velvet jacket and sweeping skirts. Another shows Emmy's daughters Elisabeth and Gisela in matching straw hats, staring wistfully out of frame.
