Brooke's Daughter - A Novel

This Canadian novel does have a romance, but the main story is about Leslie, the daughter of Caspar Brooke, and Brooke's estranged wife, the mother of Leslie. At some point, the marriage broke up in an acrimonious fashion leaving Leslie knowing nothing about her father. It is the way in which the estranged parents are brought together again, and the skilful manipulation of the characters, that makes this an excellent read.
