INTRODUCTION GENERAL SUMMARY Marriage of Opposites details the life of Rachel Pomié 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 Pomié, 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.
