Dreamland by Nancy Bilyeau

4.0

Dreamland is a mystery, an exploration of class, and a period piece that immerses readers in the bygone days of New York City. It was fun to explore through Peggy’s eyes the attractions of Coney Island and almost smell and taste the foods sold there, and it was fascinating to contrast the luxurious lives of the rich (even while realizing today most of us have it better in some respects during heat waves because even the rich then didn’t have air conditioning and had to sweat it out with everyone else) with the lives of average workers. The book is excellent historical fiction, and it’s a satisfying mystery as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
*I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
