In prose as painterly and evocative as Chagall's own dazzling brushstrokes, Gloria Goldreich, a Brandeis University Graduate, and historian, finely evokes one of the most significant masters of modern art through the discerning eyes of his loyally protective daughter.

Beautiful Ida Chagall, the only daughter of Marc Chagall, is blossoming in the Paris art world beyond her father's controlling gaze. But her newfound independence is short-lived. In Nazi-occupied Paris, Chagall's status as a Jewish artist has made them all targets, yet his devotion to his art blinds him to their danger.

When Ida falls in love and Chagall angrily paints an empty wedding chair (The Bridal Chair) in response, she faces an impossible choice: Does she fight to forge her own path outside her father's shadow, or abandon her ambitions to save Chagall from his enemies and himself?

A lush powerful sprawling novel of glorious art, history, war, politics, love, lies, secrets, history, culture, betrayal, reconciliation, friendships, community, death, birth, which spans over two continents.

Brimming with historic personalities from Europe, America and Israel, “The Bridal Chair” is a stunning portrait of love, fortitude, and the sharp divide between art and real life.
