The Museum of Extraordinary Things: A Novel
Description
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). Read more
