The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman (Simon & Schuster)

Tropical island, extraordinary people, forbidden love stories and entwined lives. 

Heroine Rachel, stubborn, strong and courageous woman, later known as a mother of a painter Camille Pisarro, one of the beginners of impressionism; her dreams and aspirations, woman before her time.

Absolutely stunning, atmospherical, full of emotions, magical realism at its best.

Brilliant read and as always praise for Alice Hoffman.

5/5
