Synopsis "The Museum of Extraordinary Things"

The "spellbinding" (People, 4 stars), New York Times bestseller from the author of The Dovekeepers: an extraordinary novel about an electric and impassioned love affair--"an enchanting love story rich with history and a sense of place" (USA TODAY). Coralie Sardie is the daughter of the sinister impresario behind The Museum of Extraordinary Things, a Coney Island freak show that thrills the masses. An exceptional swimmer, Coralie appears as the Mermaid in her father's "museum," alongside performers like the Wolfman and the Butterfly Girl. One night Coralie stumbles upon a striking young man taking pictures of moonlit trees in the woods off the Hudson River. The dashing photographer is Eddie Cohen, a Russian immigrant who has run away from his community and his job as a tailor's apprentice. When Eddie photographs the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, he becomes embroiled in the mystery behind a young woman's disappearance. And he ignites the heart of Coralie. Alice Hoffman weaves her trademark magic, romance, and masterful storytelling to unite Coralie and Eddie in a tender and moving story of young love in tumultuous times. The Museum of Extraordinary Things is, "a lavish tale about strange yet sympathetic people" (The New York Times Book Review).

Alice Hoffman es una reconocida autora estadounidense nacida en Nueva York en 1952. Desde joven mostró un gran interés por la literatura y la narración de historias. Estudió en Adelphi University, donde se graduó en escritura creativa, y más tarde obtuvo una maestría en la Universidad de Stanford. Su talento literario se manifestó muy temprano, cuando comenzó a publicar relatos en revistas importantes.

La obra de Hoffman se caracteriza por la mezcla de lo real y lo mágico. En sus novelas, los elementos sobrenaturales se integran con la vida cotidiana, creando un estilo poético y emotivo. Su primera novela, Property Of (1977), marcó el inicio de una carrera prolífica. Sin embargo, alcanzó fama internacional con Practical Magic (1995), una historia sobre dos hermanas con poderes mágicos que combina el amor, la tragedia y la herencia familiar.

A lo largo de su carrera, Hoffman ha escrito tanto para adultos como para jóvenes, explorando temas como la esperanza, la identidad, la pérdida y el poder de las mujeres. Su prosa delicada y su imaginación profunda la han convertido en una de las voces más queridas de la narrativa contemporánea estadounidense.
