Product: Summary - The Marriage of Opposites: by Alice Hoffman
Description: Inspired by the life of Rachel Pomie Petit Pizzarro, mother of famous artist Camille Pizzarro, The Marriage of Opposites is historical fiction, a tale of overcoming great obstacles, but most of all a love story. Rachel dreamed of going to Paris as a young girl, but her life in on the small island of St. Thomas made it seem unlikely.

Combined with the persecution she would face as a Jew in the early 1800s, it seemed likely to stay a wistful dream rather than become a reality. While headstrong and intelligent, she settled down to the quiet life of wife and mother. However, when her husband dies and his young nephew comes to take over the family business, she finds a love she thought had passed beyond all possibility. More than that, she finds the life she wanted, with all the joy and pain that it would bring.

A summary of each chapter

Product: The Museum of Extraordinary Things: A Novel
Description: The “spellbinding” (People, 4 stars), New York Times bestseller from the author of The Dovekeepers: an extraordinary novel about an electric and impassioned love affair—“an enchanting love story rich with history and a sense of place” (USA TODAY).
Coralie Sardie is the daughter of the sinister impresario behind The Museum of Extraordinary Things, a Coney Island freak show that thrills the masses. An exceptional swimmer, Coralie appears as the Mermaid in her father’s “museum,” alongside performers like the Wolfman and the Butterfly Girl. One night Coralie stumbles upon a striking young man taking pictures of moonlit trees in the woods off the Hudson River.

The dashing photographer is Eddie Cohen, a Russian immigrant who has run away from his community and his job as a tailor’s apprentice. When Eddie photographs the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, he becomes embroiled in the mystery behind a young woman’s disappearance. And he ignites the heart of Coralie.

Alice Hoffman weaves her trademark magic, romance, and masterful storytelling to unite Coralie and Eddie in a tender and moving story of young love in tumultuous times. The Museum of Extraordinary Things is, “a lavish tale about strange yet sympathetic people” (The New York Times Book Review).
