About this listen

 In Love of Landry, one of Dunbars four novels, we delve into the life of Mildred Osborne, an Eastern aristocrat seeking recuperation at a remote ranch in Colorado. As she navigates a world defined by distinct social norms and the scarcity of women, Mildred embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery. Though the novel lacks direct representation of black characters, it subtly addresses themes of societal prejudice and the complexities of male identity in America. Ultimately, Mildred uncovers the true nature of Landry and realizes he is deserving of her love. Summary by Jim Locke.Copyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction Science Social Sciences
