Who would fall in love with the idea of a large jeweled egg made with pounds of gold, dripping with diamonds, made to create theater? The author's father, smitten with the concept of a signature item, embarked on a mission that brought financial ruin to the Kutchinsky family name. While the memoir sticks well to the constructs of its genre, I hoped for some interesting asides on the history of manufacturing such objets d’art or setting the events against a broader contextual backdrop. Will hold interest for those familiar with the Kutchinsky name but will likely not engage the rest.
