‘What is it that makes American authors excel at depicting
marriage? Alice Hoffman’s The Marriage of Opposites is one of the
best novels on the subject . . . not least because the opposites of
its title embrace not just gender but race, class and religion . .
. Hoffman’s sensuous prose is ideally suited to describing the
landscape . . . As intoxicating as the finest island rum’
*Independent on The Marriage of Opposites*
‘Hoffman is a master of evocatively described places . . . This
captivating novel transports the reader to a sensual world of lush
tropical landscapes, colonial opulence and conflicted
passions’
*The Lady on The Marriage of Opposites*
‘Alice Hoffman’s fictionalised biography of Rachel Pizzarro’s life
is an evocative, sensitive and historically rich portrayal of a
woman living ahead of her time’
