Overview

A million-dollar Chagall is stolen from a museum during a singles' cocktail hour. The unlikely thief, former child prodigy Benjamin Ziskind, is convinced that the painting once hung in his parents' living room. This work of art opens a door through which we discover his family's startling history—from an orphanage in Soviet Russia where Chagall taught to suburban New Jersey and the jungles of Vietnam.

Reviews

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


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