What events/parts of the novel Strange Objects are fiction and non-fiction?

Answer 1

To my knowledge (although my memory is a little hazy, I studied this book in high school but that was 10 years ago) the parts about the ships navigating that part of the coast at that time are correct as are the places they speak of but pretty much everything else is fiction. All the supernatural stuff that happens to the main character are fictional as are the first hand accounts of the characters from the past.

Answer 2

The theme & the logic is the fiction except all the rest are true and are used or come across in day to day life. The meaning of fiction is only to denote that whatever events / logic that has been potrayed in the novel are only pure imagination of the author and he/she has not re-produced anything that has occurred in reality and hence they seek refuge under the clause that their in their novel all the story and the characters are fictional and any coincidence of the same should not be taken as that they have re-produced the same in their novel. Hope this clears your doubt .
