Daddy-Long-Legs-Novel-Summary

Daddy long legs is a story of a young girl Jerusha (Judy) who has been raised in an orphanage. Her life changed when one of the orphanage trustee read an essay written by her and decided to pay for her college, the only condition being that judy must write him every month explaining how her studies were going and without expecting an answer in return.

Along with her progess in studies Judy started sharing her thoughts, her joys and sorrows and petty hazards of her days. There were times when she felt lonely and would write an angry letter to the trustee, feeling sad for the fact that she never gets a reply. However by the end, she did get to know who the trustee was and that including the ending may surprise many.

ABOUT JUDY:

The main character Judy was realistic, imaginative, intelligent and opinionated character. I loved her mercilessly sharp and lively sense of humour.

All in all, this book was fun to read. I saw things through Jerusha's point of view. It was a good story, with a bit of romance.

This book is great for beginners, who want to read something light and teenagers also.

The love where only one person is giving and is willing to do anything is not right. Love yoursel...
