Summary

Jean Webster's novel 'Dear Enemy' is a classic work of fiction that delves into the complexities of societal norms and individual growth. Written in a charming and witty epistolary style, the book captures the essence of early 20th-century America while addressing timeless themes of love, friendship, and personal development. Set in a New York orphanage, the story follows the correspondence between the protagonist, Sallie McBride, and the orphanage's new director as they navigate challenges and forge unlikely connections. Webster's attention to detail and insightful character portrayals make 'Dear Enemy' a captivating read for literary enthusiasts of all ages. Jean Webster, a prolific American author and social activist, drew from her own experiences to write 'Dear Enemy'. As an advocate for women's rights and education, Webster infused her writing with progressive ideas and a keen understanding of human nature. Her strong voice and narrative skill shine through in this poignant and thought-provoking novel. I highly recommend 'Dear Enemy' to readers seeking a heartwarming yet thought-provoking read that offers valuable insights into human relationships and societal expectations.

He can see a spark of interest behind the dead black eyes. What does Miguel hide under his tattooed skin and expressionless face? Why won’t he let Nero touch him? Is his heart really made of stone, or does it hold a soul gentler than Miguel would like to admit? Nero will not rest until he finds out.
