Summary: "Setä Pitkäsääri" by Jean Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jerusha Abbott, a bright and imaginative orphan who is unexpectedly offered a chance for a college education by a mysterious benefactor known as "Setä Pitkäsääri" (Daddy-Long-Legs). The narrative unfolds through her letters to this benefactor, exploring her journey as she navigates the challenges and delights of becoming an educated young woman. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Jerusha Abbott, who recounts the trials of "Sininen keskiviikko," a day filled with rigorous expectations at the orphanage where she resides. Despite her harrowing responsibilities of managing the other orphans, Jerusha's spirited imagination shines as she dreams of life beyond the confines of the orphanage. She experiences a whirlwind of emotions as she learns about her potential educational opportunity from a member of the board, setting the stage for her transformation and reflecting her hopeful and adventurous spirit. This opening establishes the tone for a coming-of-age story enriched with humor and poignant reflections on identity and belonging. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
