Explanation To Books Dear Enemy (Daddy-Long-Legs #2)

Dear Enemy is the sequel to Jean Webster's novel Daddy-Long-Legs. First published in 1915, it was among the top ten best sellers in the US in 1916. The story is presented in a series of letters written by Sallie McBride, Judy Abbott's classmate and best friend in Daddy-Long-Legs. Among the recipients of the letters are Judy; Jervis Pendleton, Judy's husband and the president of the orphanage where Sallie is filling in until a new superintendent can be installed; Gordon Hallock, a wealthy Congressman and Sallie's later fiancé; and the orphanage's doctor, embittered Scotsman Robin 'Sandy' MacRae (to whom Sallie addresses her letters: "Dear Enemy"). Webster employs the epistolary structure to good effect; Sallie's choices of what to recount to each of her correspondents reveal a lot about her relationships with them. (Wikipedia)

Weigh Up Regarding Books Dear Enemy (Daddy-Long-Legs #2)

YES, I want to shake Webster for so many of her attitudes that she puts into Sallie. But I also like Sallie an awful lot and I love watching the orphanage take shape.Towards the end, when Sallie (view spoiler)[ breaks up with Gordon and finally feels her freedom, that is one powerful moment (hide spoiler)].Last read:03-31-200712-27-2005

The continuation of Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster. A typical 19th century narrative. This book starts a few years after Jerusha and Jervis are married. They want to remodel and improve the John Greer orphanage and find a suitable matron: none other than Sally McBride, Judy's dear school friend. Part Irish, part English, part Scotch, with a delightful mixture of representative qualities from all these races. She is initially reluctant, but later assumes full responsibility of the home and

After finishing Daddy-Long-Legs I rushed to read the follow up novel. In some ways it is even better than the first one. I adored reading about this inexperienced but strong willed society girl taking up the management of an orphanage. Her letters are great fun and give a perfect feeling for the situation and characters. But it was just so hard reading about the way people (even forward thinking, kind and modern ones) thought about mental illness and disability at that time. I know too much

This was a cute story. A little bothersome sometimes (Sally would go on and on about Gordon, and I so detest him) but an overall enjoyable read. I really liked the renovating of the orphanage and the building of the "Indian" camp. However my favorite part of the entire book was (view spoiler)[the fire. That was my absolute favorite part. :) (hide spoiler)]Percy was most likely my favorite character, I have a very strange habit of picking the minorest of characters to be my favorites, but ah

Re-read May 2016Had to re-read this, too, of course!Original ReviewOH. I loved this.I only found out recently that this book, a companion to Daddy Long Legs, existed at all, but, after reading Daddy Long Legs, I decided I better read it and I'm so glad I did. I think I'm glad, too, that I waited until now to read it. It's about Sallie, Judy's friend, taking over the running of Judy's old orphanage. And I think I appreciate it more than I would've had I read it when I first read Daddy Long Legs

"It's nice to look forward to, isn't ita life of work and play and little daily adventures side by side with somebody you love? I'm not afraid of the future any more. I don't mind growing old with you, Sandy."It is Sallie McBride's turn to tell her own story after they finished college. As Judy Abbott's best friend, Judy trusted her to become the superintendent of John Grier Home, as a replacement for Mrs. Lippet, after Judy bought it and married Jervis Pendleton. Sallie has the same humor as

In this sequel to Daddy Long-Legs, Judy Abbott is happily married to Jervis Pendleton and following him wherever he goes on business. He has taken over as chief trustee of the John Grier Home and Judy wants her friend Sallie McBride to take over as superintendent. At first Sallie rejects the idea, being a frivolous socialite, but when her wealthy politician suitor laughs at the idea of Sallie taking care of 100 orphans, she decides to take on the challenge. She's appalled at the conditions in
