The World to Come A Novel [Paperback]

A deeply satisfying literary mystery and a funny-sad meditation on how the past haunts the presentand how we haunt the future.Brilliantly imagined.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.Horns deft touch is often wryly funnybut never maliciously so&An accomplished work that beautifully explains how familiesin all their maddening, smothering, supportive glorycreate us.Deeply sympathetic characters, an encyclopedic grasp of 20th-century history and a spiritual sense that sees through the conventional barriers between this life and the one to comeor the one before.This book is the real thing. Nothing short of amazing.
