I like historical fiction set in the Word War II era. 'What is Left the Daughter' offers a glimpse of what 1942 life was like for those in eastern Canada living with the threat of German U-boats off the coast. My only reservation about the book is the narrator's involvement in the defining act of violence in the story. It seemed out of character and the narrator never reveals his feelings about his involvement. The rest of the story kind of dragged after that.
