Description: With astonishing grace and simplicity, Horn interweaves a real art heist, history, biography, theology, and Yiddish literature. Richly satisfying, utterly unique, her novel opens the door to "the world to come"--not life after death, but the world people create through their actions right now. Reading group guide included.

Review Quotes: 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 "Time"
