I'm not sure which specific 'My Father's Best Friend' novel you are referring to. There are many novels with diverse themes. However, some novels about family relationships and friendships might be similar, like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' which also delves deep into relationships within a community and family.

One well - known Polish novel that could potentially fit this description is 'Quo Vadis' by Henryk Sienkiewicz. It's a classic that has been widely read and has elements that could be related to the idea of 'a friend of the family' in the sense of characters who interact within a community or family - like social structure.

I recommend a novel to you, it's called " Interstellar Special Combat Brigade." Although the plot doesn't completely match the plot you described, it's still a science fiction novel with Earthlings as the main characters. The protagonist of this novel was a special force from Earth. They were going to fight a life and death battle with alien races on the interstellar battlefield. There were also alien races like the Winged Ones in the story. I hope you like this novel. If you are interested in other novels, please feel free to tell me anytime.😘

A sense of belonging is also a likely theme. The old friend is so intertwined with the family that they almost seem like a part of it. They have a place within the family unit, whether it's as a confidant for the parents or like an extra uncle or aunt to the children. This gives them a feeling of belonging and also gives the family a sense of security in having this long - standing relationship.

I recommend two novels to you: " Dreaming Like an Old Friend " and " Endless Good Dreams." They were ancient romance novels and palace fighting novels, and the theme revolved around the reincarnation of old friends and love entanglements. I hope you like my recommendation.😗
