That’s a bit like asking which is my favourite child – at least with that there are only two candidates. Some of my favourites are The Red Tent, Skallagrigg, Everything You Need, The Magus, Alias Grace, Samarkand, Gormenghast, Trumpet, A Fine Balance, The Poisonwood Bible, A Month in the Country, The Electric Michelangelo and almost anything by John Irving. For children’s books – anything by Noel Streatfeild, Frank Cottrell Boyce and Frances Hardinge. Ask me another day and I’ll say a dozen others.
