If you have not yet bought the original copy, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial summary from aBookaDay. INTRODUCTION GENERAL SUMMARY Marriage of Opposites details the life of Rachel Pomie Petit Pizzarro, mother of the famous impressionist painter Camille Pizzarro. It serves to bring a layer of depth not only into the life of Rachel, but the life and artistic endeavors of Camille Pizzarro. As mentioned in Alice Hoffman's afterword, a majority of the story is built on fact-any imaginations beyond what has been presented to the modern day were created for the fluidity of the novel, but often fell behind what was the real-life story of the Pomie, Petit, and Pizzarro families. SETTING A majority of this novel takes place in the capital of St. Thomas, Charlotte Amalie. It also partially takes place in Paris-a place Rachel often dreamt of visiting as a child, and eventually lived in as an adult. The community of Jewish refugees to which Rachel's family belongs is chock-full of extremely pious people, oftentimes leading Rachel into difficult situations with both her mother and the congregation.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Marriage of Opposites and The Dovekeepers comes a soul-searching story about a young woman struggling to redefine herself and the power of love, family, and fate. Growing up on Long Island, Shelby Richmond is an ordinary girl until one night an extraordinary tragedy changes her fate. Her best friend’s future is destroyed in an accident, while Shelby walks away with the burden of guilt. What happens when a life is turned inside out? When love is something so distant it may as well be a star in the sky? Faithful is the story of a survivor, filled with emotion—from dark suffering to true happiness—a moving portrait of a young woman finding her way in the modern world. A fan of Chinese food, dogs, bookstores, and men she should stay away from, Shelby has to fight her way back to her own future. In New York City she finds a circle of lost and found souls—including an angel who’s been watching over her ever since that fateful icy night. Here is a character you will fall in love with, so believable and real and endearing, that she captures both the ache of loneliness and the joy of finding yourself at last. For anyone who’s ever been a hurt teenager, for every mother of a daughter who has lost her way, Faithful is a roadmap. Alice Hoffman’s “trademark alchemy” (USA TODAY) and her ability to write about the “delicate balance between the everyday world and the extraordinary” (WBUR) make this an unforgettable story. With beautifully crafted prose, Alice Hoffman spins hope from heartbreak in this profoundly moving novel.
