WHAT IS LEFT THE DAUGHTER by Howard Norman

 

A father writes a (book-length) letter to his estranged daughter, hoping for her understanding and telling her the events of his life: he is orphaned, he falls in love with his adopted cousin,  she falls in love with someone else.  This heartbreaking story is set in Nova Scotia during World War II.   Norman has been nominated twice for the National Book Award.
