"Homesick" by Guy Vanderhaeghe

This was a well written book, centred around an obtusely stubborn relationship between an old man and  his daughter. It dealt with the kind of people I'm not really interested in reading about; the adults had too many rough edges for my taste. Daniel, the grandson, was appealing. Hopefully the mother eventually learns to see who he really is, and stops living in fear that he won't live up to his potential. I do believe the mother does grow by the time the book ends
