Pageturners discuss The Marriage of Opposites . Sponsored by Friends of the Library.
This event is part of the 6th annual Many Stories, One Community: Portland Jewish Book Celebration focusing on one book in November – The Marriage of Opposites by best-selling author Alice Hoffman.
Hoffman’s The Marriage of Opposites explores growing up on St. Thomas in the early 1800s in a Jewish refugee community. Rachel dreams of a life in Paris, but instead she is married off to save her father’s business. When her husband dies and his nephew arrives from France, Rachel seizes her own life story, beginning a love affair that sparks a scandal that affects all of her family, including her favorite son, who will become one of the greatest artists of France, Camille Pissarro.
