| Summary |
"Bonnie May" by Louis Dodge is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story follows a peculiar and spirited young girl named Bonnie May, who enters the lives of the Barons after being rescued from a chaotic situation in a theatre. The narrative promises to explore themes of identity, belonging, and the complexities of varying social classes as Bonnie encounters the Barons, examining the contrasts between her experiences and theirs. At the start of the book, the atmosphere is set in a theatre where Baron, the main adult character, is unexpectedly joined by Bonnie May, a young girl who appears to have wandered in. Despite her initial carefree demeanor, she reveals depth through her candidness and unexpected knowledge about the theatre world. A sudden calamity—a fire at the theatre—forces Baron to carry her out to safety, thrusting them into a peculiar partnership. As they navigate the aftermath, Baron discovers that Bonnie May has no real home to return to, leading him to decide to take her with him to his family’s mansion, setting up an intriguing dynamic between the child and the established, if struggling, Baron family.
