Dear Enemy by Jean Webster
5.0
Dear Enemy combines many of my favorite things, and several of my least favorite. Being in education and a history lover, the long tales of the asylum life were fascinating to me. I could observe it as a record of the beliefs and mores of the time written in an amusing style. Then I’d get wrapped up in the characters and be annoyed at them for following the misguided eugenics of the time. I apologize, I am somewhat of a hypocrite. I want my books historically accurate, and to not make me cringe in disgust at beliefs the characters hold.
If you enjoyed Daddy-Long-Legs and were hoping for more closure after the annoying ending, you’re not going to get it. In fact, this book has an extremely similarly annoyingly abrupt ending. My feelings are a bit strong on this point, so I hope you’ll pardon the adverbs.
If you enjoyed Daddy-Long-Legs and were hoping for a story that follows a similar format and narrative style, you’re in luck!
