![]() ![]() ![]() Two separate stories take place simultaneously in 3 distinct narrations. I never really knew anything about these famous fires which made it all the more interesting for me. The historical events were two notable fires that took place in New York City in 1911 - one at The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory (a tragic event that made way for the Unions to implement improved factory safety standards) and the other at Coney Island’s Dreamland Amusement Park (the rival business of the fictional museum of the novel’s title). Oh Alice Hoffman how I enjoy your stories!!! Thank you so much to Susan at Audiojukebox and Simon and Schuster Audio for sending us the EXCELLENT audio presentation of The Museum of Extraordinary Things.Īlice Hoffman’s latest novel The Museum of Extraordinary Things takes place in one of the most interesting times and settings - New York City at the turn of the century. This story is a perfect historical fiction complete with Hoffman’s trademark magical realism peppered throughout. ![]()
