THE BRIDAL CHAIR

Book ID/图书代码： 06840014B68347

English Summary/英文概要： In The Bridal Chair, awardwinning author Gloria Goldreich exposes the complex psychological underpinnings of iconic artist Marc Chagall’s damaged family through the life of his daughter, Ida, who was ultimately to shape and curate his legacy to the world. Like Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Bridal Chair explores the lives of ordinary people floundering in the net of the insatiable needs of the creative artist. Ida grows up overprotected and naïve, defining herself through her aloof and egotistical family. But when she falls in love for the first time and begins forging her own identity, Marc paints The Bridal Chair as her wedding present—an empty chair, shocking symbol of his anger. It pierces Ida to the heart. As Ida is changing, so is Europe, and as waves of antiSemitism and Nazi invasions ripple across the continent, Ida’s parents want to hear none of it. Ida is the only one who can save her parents’ lives and enable her father’s legacy to survive—but what will such sacrifices cost her?
