Dear Enemy

Dear Enemy is the sequel to novel Daddy-Long-Legs and follows the story of Sallie Mc Bride, Judy Abbott’s classmate and best friend in Daddy-Long-Legs. Dear Enemy shows how Sallie Mc Bride grows from a frivolous socialite to a mature woman and an able executive. It also follows the development of Sallie’s relationships with Gordon Hallock, a wealthy politician, and Dr. Robin Mac Rae, the orphanage’s physician, (to whom Sallie addresses her letters: ‘Dear Enemy’). Both relationships are affected by Sallie’s initial reluctance to commit herself to her job, and by her gradual realization of how happy the work makes her and how incomplete she’d feel without it.

Sobre o autor

Jean Webster (1876-1916) was an American writer and author of many books including Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her best-known books feature lively and likeable young female protagonists who come of age intellectually, morally, and socially, but with enough humor, snappy dialogue, and gently biting social commentary to make her books palatable and enjoyable to contemporary readers.
