Kutchinsky’s Eggis a wild and fascinating trip, a vivid story of a father’s obsession and a daughter’s loveOCTAVIA BRIGHT

_____________________________________________________________________________

When she was eleven years old, Serena Kutchinskys father Paul was consumed by a wild dream. Heir to the legendary jewellery company House of Kutchinsky, he wanted to create the worlds largest jewelled egg more lavish and beautiful than any of Fabergsmasterpieces.

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, Pauls 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 Londons East End with the arrival of her great, great grandparents as Jewish immigrants from Poland and takes her to the most unexpected of places.
