| Summary | "Paras vihollinen" by Jean Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is a sequel to "Setä Pitkäsäären" and follows the adventures of its main character, Sallie McBride, as she takes on the challenge of managing the John Grier Home, an orphanage. The narrative unfolds through letters, allowing readers to explore Sallie's humorous and insightful observations about her new role and the children in her care. At the start of the novel, Sallie expresses her incredulity at being appointed director of the orphanage, feeling completely unprepared for the task. The opening letters capture her experiences during a winter arrival at John Grier Home and her initial impressions of the dreary environment and the children. She humorously relates her struggles to adapt while highlighting the stark differences between her former social life and the responsibilities she now faces. As she gets acquainted with her surroundings, her determination to improve the lives of the orphans becomes apparent, revealing her character's warmth, wit, and a desire to create a nurturing atmosphere despite the challenges ahead.
