Bonnie May
by Louis Dodge
'Bonnie May' Summary
Bonnie May, the titular character, is a child brought up in the bustling environment of a theater. To her, the stage is not simply a place of make-believe, but a reflection of life itself. She witnesses the intricate dance of societal norms and human interactions as if they were parts of a grand play. The novel delves into Bonnie May's unique worldview, where the lines between reality and theatrical performance become blurred. Through her eyes, the reader sees the world through a new lens, observing the conventions of society as if they were merely theatrical devices. As Bonnie May matures, she grapples with the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of navigating a world that often feels like a stage. The novel ultimately explores the power of perception and the search for authenticity in a world where appearances can be deceiving.Book Details
