Dear Enemy by Jean Webster, published in 1915, is the sequel to her popular novel Daddy-Long-Legs. The story is told through a series of letters written by Sallie McBride, who takes over as superintendent of the John Grier orphanage, the same institution from the first novel. Sallie corresponds with various characters, including her "enemy" Dr. Robin MacRae, with whom she initially clashes but later forms a deeper connection. The novel combines humor, social commentary, and romance, while addressing themes such as orphan care and women's independence.

Autorenporträt
Jean Webster (pseudonym for Alice Jane Chandler 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.
