What is the author's tone in The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss by Edmund de Waal?

"The Hare with Amber Eyes" is written with a gentle sincerity. It is obvious that the author, Edmund de Waal, had a genuine love of art, being an artist and craftsman himself. On his trek to discover the history of the netsuke collection that a distant cousin purchased in the late 19th century, Edmund begins to uncover a history of his family and events that had either been unknown or forgotten long ago. The emotion that the revelations engender within Edmund are poignant and real.
