ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman is a historical fiction novel set in the vibrant, tropical island of St. Thomas in the early 19th century. The story follows Rachel Pomié, a strong-willed woman of Jewish descent, whose unconventional life and love affair defy societal norms. Her marriage to a French artist, Frédéric Pizzarro, challenges cultural and familial expectations, leading to personal and emotional conflict. The novel explores themes of forbidden love, family loyalty, identity, and the struggles between tradition and personal freedom, blending history with magical realism and offering a rich, evocative portrayal of the past.
