Summary "Letters of a Dakota Divorcee" by Jane Burr is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is told through the letters of the protagonist, Marianne, a woman navigating her divorce and life in a boarding house in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The book addresses themes of personal freedom, societal attitudes towards divorce, and the challenges faced by women in this era. The opening of the novel introduces us to Marianne as she converses with her friend Lorna through letters, sharing her vivid thoughts on life as a divorcee. She describes her somewhat humorous experiences in Sioux Falls, from her quirky boarding house and the eccentric characters around her to her interactions with a comical attorney. Marianne's letters express her wit and sarcasm, as well as her deep-seated loneliness and longing for connection amidst the societal constraints she faces. Through her correspondence, we understand her struggles with boredom, societal judgment, and the complexities of love, setting the stage for her journey toward self-discovery and the search for genuine companionship.
