A million-dollar Chagall painting is stolen during a singles' event at a New York museum. The painting has an unusual history, and now there is an unlikely thief - Benjamin Ziskind, a lonely former child prodigy who now writes questions for TV shows and who believes the painting once belonged to his family. Benjamin's moment of apparent madness in stealing the painting is just one such moment in a web of riveting stories. For him, for his family and for Chagall, life is a breathtaking collision course of past, present and future, and 'the world to come' starts right now.

Review:
Brilliantly imagined. -- Merle Rubin

Horn's deft touch is often wryly funny-but never maliciously so. . . . An accomplished work that beautifully explains how families-in all their maddening, smothering, supportive glory-create us. -- Natalie Danford

Brilliantly imagined. --Merle Rubin"

This book is the real thing. --Julia Livshin"

Symphonic and piercingly beautiful . . . the novel suspends us between emotions, never allowing any to become predominant, and we hang there in that indeterminate space, perfectly happy, hoping that the book will never end.--Bethany Scneider

Horn s deft touch is often wryly funny but never maliciously so. . . . An accomplished work that beautifully explains how families in all their maddening, smothering, supportive glory create us.--Natalie Danford"

This book is the real thing.--Julia Livshin

A deeply satisfying literary mystery and a funny-sad meditation on how the past haunts the present--and how we haunt the future.--Lev Grossman
