Mia Beth Cohen

The Marriage of Opposites
The book was a masterpiece in its descriptions and character development. It was a page turner. I was immersed and it fuels colorful imagination.

The book delved deeply into many deaths in excruciating and vivid detail. This is part of life but it depressed me. I would have preferred to have Rachel s many children also fleshed out as 3 dimensional characters as Camille received all the focus. Being a mother with so many children is life changing and time consuming and it begs the question, who raised them?

Overall, the historical references, magical metaphor, and relationship development were excellent.

Compelling! Stories like this don't come around too often. I could not put it dow. The book title is so appropriate.
